The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 32, sentence 83

He remembered the whole affair; he knew that he was dead and was going to be buried, and recognising the smith, he said to him, in a low voice, ‘My good neighbour, if I hadn’t been dead already, I should have laughed myself to death now to see you coming like this to my funeral.’

Who acts: carpenter, I, you · What happens: remember, know, be, go, bury, recognise · To what, where: whole affair, smith, lid, low voice, I, you · Speech: someone speaks here
