The Green Fairy Book, The Biter Bit, part 4, sentence 52

Full of remorse and sorrow, he begged for her forgiveness, and Helena, only too pleased to have got him back again, did not, you may be sure, keep him waiting very long for her pardon, and so they were married and returned to Helena’s castle, where they are no doubt still sitting happily together under the lime-tree.

Who acts: Full remorse, you, Prince, remorse, doubt, Helena · What happens: beg, get back, not do, be, keep, wait · To what, where: Helena, Prince, remorse, doubt, lime tree
