The Blue Fairy Book, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, sentence 11

One of the young fairies who sat by her overheard how she grumbled; and, judging that she might give the little Princess some unlucky gift, went, as soon as they rose from table, and hid herself behind the hangings, that she might speak last, and repair, as much as she could, the evil which the old Fairy might intend.

Who acts: young fairies, company, fairies, old Fairy · What happens: sit, overhear, grumble, judge, give, go · To what, where: unlucky gift, little Princess, repair, table, company, hangings · Speech: someone speaks here
