The Blue Fairy Book, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, sentence 108

One evening, as she was, according to her custom, rambling round about the courts and yards of the palace to see if she could smell any fresh meat, she heard, in a ground room, little Day crying, for his mamma was going to whip him, because he had been naughty; and she heard, at the same time, little Morning begging pardon for her brother.

Who acts: queen, little Day, mamma, little Morning · What happens: accord, be, ramble, see, smell, hear · To what, where: fresh meat, ground room, mamma, pardon
