The Red Fairy Book, Bushy Bride, sentence 37

When the mother came and saw her you may imagine what a state of mind she was in, and how she screamed and lamented, but neither the nose nor the jaw grew any the less for that.

Who acts: mother, you, state, nose · What happens: come, see, imagine, be, scream, lament · To what, where: mother, mind
