The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 37, sentence 18

Now amongst all the young men who wanted to marry Barbaik, the one whose heart was most set on her was her father’s head man, but as his manners were rough and he was exceedingly ugly she would have nothing to say to him, and, what was worse, often made fun of him with the rest.

Who acts: heart, Barbaik, manners, man · What happens: want, marry, be, set, have, say · To what, where: head man, nothing, man · Speech: someone speaks here
