The Blue Fairy Book, Beauty and the Beast, part 3, sentence 47

But though they were rich now, and lived in town again, and had plenty of acquaintances, Beauty found that nothing amused her very much; and she often thought of the palace, where she was so happy, especially as at home she never once dreamed of her dear Prince, and she felt quite sad without him.

Who acts: sisters, Beauty, nothing · What happens: be, live, have, find, amuse, think · To what, where: town, plenty, acquaintances, Beauty, home · Speech: someone speaks here
