The Green Fairy Book, Prince Featherhead and the Princess Celandine, sentence 140

Celandine, absorbed in her own sad thoughts, did not even hear this prudent counsel, and quite forgot to eat her share of the plum, which delighted the old woman, who put it by carefully for her breakfast, saying:

Who acts: plum, old woman, visitor · What happens: absorb, not hear, forget, not eat, delight, put · To what, where: Celandine, own sad thoughts, prudent counsel, share, old woman, plum · Speech: someone speaks here
