The Green Fairy Book, Fairy Gifts, sentence 9

Sylvia was very unwilling to go away, but as the Fairy wished it she said nothing--only when the two months were over she stepped joyfully into the butterfly chariot, and could not get back quickly enough to the Flower-Fairy, who, for her part, was equally delighted to see her again.

Who acts: Sylvia, Fairy, two months · What happens: be, go away, wish, say, not get back, see · To what, where: wish, nothing, butterfly chariot, Fairy · Speech: someone speaks here
