Tanglewood Tales, The Wayside. Introductory., sentence 62

She pretends to consider herself quite beyond the age to be interested by such idle stories as these; but, for all that, whenever a story is to be told, Primrose never fails to be one of the listeners, and to make fun of it when finished.

Who acts: Clover · What happens: pretend, consider, be, tell, primrose, not fail · To what, where: Clover, story, one, fun · Speech: someone speaks here
