The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 25, sentence 59

Rozennik was a pretty girl, who knew how to make the best of everything, and she could, if she wished, have chosen a husband from the young men of Plouhinec, but she cared for none of them except Bernez, whom she had played with all her life, and Bernez, though he worked hard, was so very very poor that Marzinne told him roughly he must look elsewhere for a wife.

Who acts: Rozennik, pretty girl, man, Marzinne · What happens: be, know, make, wish, choose, care · To what, where: pretty girl, best, husband, Bernez, man · Speech: someone speaks here
