The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 9, sentence 38

As the Holy Man had said, he had never eaten such a dinner; still, when he had done, he shook his head, and grumbled; “Yes, there is plenty to eat, of course, but it only makes me thirsty, and there is not a drop to drink anywhere.”

Who acts: Holy Man, Father, plenty · What happens: say, not eat, do, shake, grumble, eat · To what, where: dinner, head, Father, drop · Speech: someone speaks here
