The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 1, sentence 8

She wept and sobbed until even the King’s attention was attracted; and when she said that, far from coming to try and diminish his grief, she, who had just lost a good husband, was come to add her tears to his, since she knew what he must be feeling, the King redoubled his lamentations.

Who acts: lady, King · What happens: weep, sob, attract, say, come, try · To what, where: attention, grief, good husband, tears, lamentations · Speech: someone speaks here
