The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 19, sentence 10

‘As you have said so much you will have to say a little more,’ retorted the old man, a suspicion of what she meant darting across him; and the woman, nothing loth, answered as before.

Who acts: you, Daughter · What happens: say, have, retort, mean, dart, answer · To what, where: more, old man · Speech: someone speaks here
