The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 13, sentence 76

The girl had never heard of such a name, and did not like it, so she determined to pay no attention; but as she opened her mouth to tell her father that her husband must be called Njal, she found herself answering instead: “If I do marry it will be to no one except Hábogi.”

Who acts: girl, name · What happens: not hear, not like, determine, pay, open, tell · To what, where: girl, name, attention, mouth, father, husband · Speech: someone speaks here
