The Green Fairy Book, Sylvain and Jocosa, sentence 29

But the Fairy of the Meadows, who had really never ceased to watch over them, did not intend that they should be drowned at last, so she hastily waved her wand, and immediately they found themselves standing side by side upon the golden sand.

Who acts: Fairy, Sylvain · What happens: not cease, watch, not intend, drown, wave, find · To what, where: Fairy, Sylvain, last, wand, side
