The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 46

Her teeth were like rows of pearls; her lips for all the world looked like red coral; and she had a shining gown pale green as the hollow of the wave, with little rows of purple and red seaweeds settled out upon it; for you never yet saw a lady, under the water or over the water, who had not a good notion of dressing herself out.

Who acts: teeth, lips, heaven, you, water, good notion · What happens: be, look, have, shine, settle out, not see · To what, where: shining gown, purple seaweeds, lady, water, heaven
