The Green Fairy Book, Allerleirauh; Or, the Many-furred Creature, sentence 79
She ran as fast as she could to her little room under the stairs, but because she had stayed too long beyond the half-hour, she could not stop to take off the beautiful dress, but only threw the fur cloak over it, and in her haste she did not make herself quite black with the soot, one finger remaining white.
Who acts: cook, one finger · What happens: run, stay, not stop, take off, throw, not make · To what, where: beautiful dress, fur cloak, ring, cook, haste
