The Violet Fairy Book, The History of Dwarf Long Nose, part 1, sentence 106

There sat his mother, with a good deal of fruit still in her baskets, so he felt he could not have slept so very long, but it struck him that she was sad, for she did not call to the passers-by, but sat with her head resting on her hand, and as he came nearer he thought she looked paler than usual.

Who acts: head, deal, mother · What happens: sit, feel, not sleep, strike, be, not call · To what, where: mother, baskets, head, passers, hand, fruit · Speech: someone speaks here
