Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 88

It was not long after this, that Kay came one day with large gloves on, and his little sledge at his back, and bawled right into Gerda's ears, “I have permission to go out into the square where the others are playing”; and off he was in a moment.

Who acts: fault, Kay, others, other · What happens: not be, come, bawl, have, go out, play · To what, where: little sledge, ears, permission, square · Speech: someone speaks here
