The Green Fairy Book, Sylvain and Jocosa, sentence 34
The Fairy, who had set her mind upon securing their happiness, had in their absence quite made up the quarrel between their parents, and gained their consent to the marriage of the faithful lovers; and now she conducted them to the most charming little cottage that can be imagined, close to the fountain, which had once more resumed its peaceful aspect, and flowed gently down into the little brook which enclosed the garden and orchard and pasture which belonged to the cottage.
Who acts: Fairy, absence, fountain, little brook, pasture, Sylvain · What happens: set, secure, have, make up, gain, conduct · To what, where: Fairy, happiness, absence, quarrel, consent, Sylvain
