Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 2, sentence 84

This was as far as the work had yet proceeded; but when the beautiful woman should again sit down at her loom, she would probably make a picture of what had since happened to the strangers, and of what was now going to happen.

Who acts: This, beautiful woman, woman, picture · What happens: be, proceed, sit down, make, happen, go · To what, where: work, loom, picture
