The Green Fairy Book, The Green Fairy Book, sentence 29
So here we give you the last of the old stories, for the present, and hope you will like them, and feel grateful to the Brothers Grimm, who took them down from the telling of old women, and to M. Sebillot and M. Charles Marelles, who have lent us some tales from their own French people, and to Mr. Ford, who drew the pictures, and to the ladies, Miss Blackley, Miss Alma Alleyne, Miss Eleanor Sellar, Miss May Sellar, Miss Wright, and Mrs. Lang, who translated many of the tales out of French, German, and other languages.
Who acts: we, you, Brothers Grimm, M. Charles, Ford, Miss · What happens: give, hope, like, feel, take down, lend · To what, where: you, stories, telling, tales, us, pictures · Speech: someone speaks here
