The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 1, sentence 33

She was such a little dear altogether, and blinked her eyes so daintily, and ate her supper so tidily, and when she had finished she licked her pink nose so delicately with her little tongue, that her mistress was never tired of saying, ‘Koma, Koma, what should I do without you?’

Who acts: Cat, mistress, I · What happens: be, blink, eat, finish, lick, not be · To what, where: eyes, supper, pink nose, Koma · Speech: someone speaks here
