The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 13, sentence 87

She had only the dress of a countrywoman on her as she sat sewing at the window, but that did not hide her beauty, and he was greatly puzzled after he had a good look, just as a body is puzzled to know whether something happened to him when he was young or if he only dreamed it.

Who acts: girl, that, story, something · What happens: have, sit, sew, not hide, puzzle, know · To what, where: dress, window, beauty, story, good look, body · Speech: someone speaks here
