The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 2, sentence 47
However, I noticed that one of my companions in misfortune was also very attentive to this little sprite, and I found out that he had been her lover, whom the cruel Ragotte had taken away from her long before; since then I have cared for, and thought of, nothing but how I might regain my freedom.
Who acts: I, one, King · What happens: notice, be, find out, take away, care, think · To what, where: lover, cruel Ragotte, freedom · Speech: someone speaks here
