Tanglewood Tales, The Wayside. Introductory., sentence 68

Poor Clover has been a good deal troubled with her second teeth, which have made her meagre in aspect and rather fractious in temper; nor, even when she smiles, is the matter much mended, since it discloses a gap just within her lips, almost as wide as the barn door.

Who acts: Clover, Poor good deal, matter, meagre · What happens: be, trouble, make, smile, mend, disclose · To what, where: Poor good deal, second teeth, aspect, matter, gap
