English Fairy Tales, Whittington and His Cat, sentence 97

But this poor fellow was too kind-hearted to keep it all to himself; so he made a present to the captain, the mate, and the rest of Mr. Fitzwarren's servants; and even to the ill-natured old cook.

Who acts: poor fellow, fellow · What happens: be, keep, make · To what, where: part, fellow, present
