Tanglewood Tales, The Pomegranate Seeds., part 3, sentence 8

But Mother Ceres, the moment she saw her, knew that this was an odd kind of a person, who put all her enjoyment in being miserable, and never would have a word to say to other people, unless they were as melancholy and wretched as she herself delighted to be.

Who acts: Ceres, Mother Ceres, this, person, people, woman · What happens: see, know, be, put, not have, say · To what, where: woman, odd kind, enjoyment, word, other people · Speech: someone speaks here
