The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 98

Unluckily one morning, as Minon-Minette was cantering slowly on her beautiful white horse, thinking a great deal about Souci and not at all of the boundaries of her kingdom (of which, indeed, she was very ignorant), she suddenly found herself in front of a house made entirely of dead leaves, which somehow brought all sorts of unpleasant things into her head.

Who acts: Minon Minette, Minette · What happens: canter, think, be, find, make, bring · To what, where: great deal, Minette, front, house, dead leaves, head
