The Blue Fairy Book, Toads and Diamonds, sentence 8

“Oh! ay, with all my heart, Goody,” said this pretty little girl; and rinsing immediately the pitcher, she took up some water from the clearest place of the fountain, and gave it to her, holding up the pitcher all the while, that she might drink the easier.

Who acts: ay · What happens: say, rinse, take up, give, hold up, drink · To what, where: pitcher, water, clearest place, ay · Speech: someone speaks here
