The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch in the Stone Boat(31), sentence 48

The nurse was still more frightened when she heard the woman say this, and thought that perhaps some danger was hanging over the child, though she had no ill-opinion of the unknown woman, who, indeed, had behaved towards the child as if it were her own.

Who acts: woman, danger, nurse · What happens: be, hear, say, think, hang, have · To what, where: nurse, this, ill opinion, unknown woman · Speech: someone speaks here
