The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 109

She was happier than she had been, but sometimes, when no one saw her, she would weep as she thought over her old life, and how different it was to the one she was now leading.

Who acts: Destiny, one, life · What happens: be, see, weep, think, lead · To what, where: Destiny, old life, one
