Grimm's Fairy Stories, Little Snow White, sentence 35

But the queen, now that she thought Snow-White was dead, believed that she was certainly the handsomest lady in the land; so she went to her glass and said--

Who acts: queen, Snow, White · What happens: think, be, believe, go, say · To what, where: queen, handsomest lady, land, glass · Speech: someone speaks here
