The Green Fairy Book, Fairy Gifts, sentence 17

And, indeed, she does need it terribly, for all the things in her that were tolerable, and even agreeable, when she was so pretty, seem quite different now she is ugly, and it is so long since she thought of using her mind or her natural cleverness, that I really don’t think she has any left now.

Who acts: Sylvia, that, things, beauty, I · What happens: need, be, seem, think, use, not think · To what, where: beauty, mind · Speech: someone speaks here
