The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 11, sentence 164

The yard opened on a garden full of flowers; the roses were so fresh and sweet, hanging over a little trellis, the lime-trees were in blossom, and the swallows flew about, saying: ‘Quirre-virre-vil, my husband has come home;’ but it was not the fir-tree they meant.

Who acts: yard, lime trees, swallows, Quirre, husband, fir tree · What happens: open, be, hang, fly, say, vil · To what, where: yard, garden, little trellis, blossom, fir tree · Speech: someone speaks here
