The Red Fairy Book, Bushy Bride, sentence 254

At last they made up their minds to bury her, but she looked as blooming as a living being, and her cheeks were still such a lovely colour, that they said:

Who acts: last, SNOWDROP, cheeks, dwarfs · What happens: make up, bury, look, bloom, be, say · To what, where: minds, SNOWDROP, lovely colour · Speech: someone speaks here
