English Fairy Tales, Whittington and His Cat, sentence 99

When Whittington's face was washed, his hair curled, his hat cocked, and he was dressed in a nice suit of clothes he was as handsome and genteel as any young man who visited at Mr. Fitzwarren's; so that Miss Alice, who had once been so kind to him, and thought of him with pity, now looked upon him as fit to be her sweetheart; and the more so, no doubt, because Whittington was now always thinking what he could do to oblige her, and making her the prettiest presents that could be.

Who acts: hair, hat, Fitzwarren, young man, Miss, Whittington · What happens: wash, curl, cock, dress, be, visit · To what, where: face, Fitzwarren, nice suit, clothes, sweetheart, Whittington · Speech: someone speaks here
