The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 32, sentence 16

One day, as he sat in the shade of an oak tree, dreaming of his lost princess, and sometimes crying her name aloud, he seemed to hear another voice reply to his, and, starting up, he gazed around him, but he could see no one, and he had just made up his mind that he must be mistaken, when the same voice called again, and, looking up sharply, he saw a magpie which hopped to and fro among the twigs.

Who acts: beauty, same voice, magpie, princess · What happens: sit, dream, lose, cry, seem, hear · To what, where: shade, name, voice reply, one, mind, beauty · Speech: someone speaks here
