The Red Fairy Book, The Golden Goose, sentence 42

‘Why, where is your reverence going so fast?’ cried he; ‘don’t forget there is to be a christening to-day;’ and he ran after him, caught him by the sleeve, and hung on to it himself: As the five of them trotted along in this fashion one after the other, two peasants were coming from their work with their hoes.

Who acts: reverence, christening, two peasants, girls · What happens: be, go, cry, not forget, run, catch · To what, where: reverence, christening, sleeve, fashion, work · Speech: someone speaks here
