The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 2, sentence 105

But she was not as skilful as the Wise Man, and the Shifty Lad felt the touch of her fingers; so as soon as the dance was over he contrived to place a second black dot on the faces of the twenty men and two more on the Wizard, after which he slipped the bottle into her pocket.

Who acts: help, Shifty Lad, Lad · What happens: not be, feel, be, slip, touch · To what, where: touch, bottle, pocket, fingers
