The Red Fairy Book, Farmer Weatherbeard, sentence 22

But when the woman heard that, and found that the man did not at all know either when their son would be out of his apprentice-ship, or where he had gone, she packed him off again to find out, and gave him a bag of food and a roll of tobacco to take away with him.

Who acts: woman, man, son · What happens: hear, find, know, be, not go, pack off · To what, where: apprentice ship, son, bag, tobacco · Speech: someone speaks here
