The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 9, sentence 74

“Come, take a glass to warm you this cold day,” said the woman, who was anxious to keep him in a good temper, and as this was an invitation Father Grumbler never refused, he tossed it off and left the house.

Who acts: woman, this, Father · What happens: come, take, warm, say, be, keep · To what, where: glass, you, Father, good temper, invitation, basket · Speech: someone speaks here
