The Violet Fairy Book, The Fairy of the Dawn, part 1, sentence 120

‘No, take me, for whoever wears me in his hat will be loved by the most beautiful woman in the world,’ pleaded the second; and then one after another bestirred itself, each more charming than the last, all promising, in soft sweet voices, wonderful things to Petru, if only he would pick them.

Who acts: whoever, beautiful woman, one, each, all, Petru · What happens: take, wear, love, plead, bestir, charm · To what, where: me, hat, second, world, soft sweet voices, things · Speech: someone speaks here
