The Red Fairy Book, The Enchanted Canary, sentence 299

On the evening of the wedding-day all the larders, cellars, cupboards and tables of the people, whether rich or poor, were loaded as if by enchantment with bread, wine, beer, cakes and tarts, roast larks, and even geese, so that Tubby could not complain any more that his son had married Famine.

Who acts: Tubby · What happens: load, not complain, marry · To what, where: son
