The Green Fairy Book, The Enchanted Watch, sentence 114

One lovely summer evening, as they sat together on a shady lawn shaped like a star, from which radiated twelve splendid avenues of trees, the Queen looked round and saw a charming peasant-girl approaching by each path, and what was still more singular was that everyone carried something in a basket which appeared to occupy her whole attention.

Who acts: feelings, Queen, charming peasant girl, everyone, basket · What happens: sit, shape, radiate, look round, see, approach · To what, where: shady lawn, twelve splendid avenues, charming peasant girl, basket, whole attention
