The Yellow Fairy Book, The Grateful Beasts(11), part 3, sentence 58
As she did not know that it was guided by an invisible hand she was very much astonished, and the moment that the pen had ceased to move she instantly went over to the table, where she found some lovely verses, telling her that another shared her distresses, whatever they might be, and loved her with all his heart; and that he would never rest until he had delivered her from the hands of the man she hated.
Who acts: Rosalie, invisible hand, another, distresses, heart · What happens: not know, guide, be, cease, move, go over · To what, where: pen, invisible hand, lovely verses, Rosalie, distresses, whatever · Speech: someone speaks here
