Tanglewood Tales, The Wayside. Introductory., sentence 75

But as I do not know when I shall re-visit Tanglewood, and as Eustace Bright probably will not ask me to edit a third "WonderBook," the public of little folks must not expect to hear any more about those dear children from me.

Who acts: I, public · What happens: not know, re-visit, not ask, edit, not expect, hear · To what, where: Tanglewood, me, third, more · Speech: someone speaks here
