The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 26, sentence 67

‘Poor innocent,’ she murmured, ‘he does not know what he is saying, but I will cut him a slice of that new wheaten loaf,’ and so she did, and Peronnik ate up every crumb, and declared that nobody less than the bishop’s baker could have baked it.

Who acts: woman, Peronnik, I · What happens: murmur, not know, say, cut, do, eat up · To what, where: slice, Peronnik, crumb, nobody, new wheaten loaf · Speech: someone speaks here
