The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 2, sentence 1

As it was quite the nicest time of the year when Miranda arrived in this delightful land the only palace she saw was a long row of orange trees, jasmines, honeysuckles, and musk-roses, and their interlacing branches made the prettiest rooms possible, which were hung with gold and silver gauze, and had great mirrors and candlesticks, and most beautiful pictures.

Who acts: it, Miranda, only palace, interlacing branches · What happens: be, arrive, see, interlace, make, hang · To what, where: nicest time, musk roses, delightful land, only palace, long row, prettiest rooms
