The Green Fairy Book, Prince Featherhead and the Princess Celandine, sentence 135

When supper-time came she went into the house, declining all the Princess’s offers of assistance, and shortly afterwards brought out a very small dish, saying:

Who acts: supper time, house, Princess · What happens: come, go, decline, bring out, say, offer · To what, where: house, offers, small dish, assistance · Speech: someone speaks here
