Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 3, sentence 34

“The newspapers appeared forthwith with a border of hearts and the initials of the Princess; and therein you might read that every good-looking young man was at liberty to come to the palace and speak to the Princess; and he who spoke in such wise as showed he felt himself at home there, that one the Princess would choose for her husband.

Who acts: newspapers, you, looking young man, man, one · What happens: appear, read, look, be, come, speak · To what, where: that, liberty, palace, man, home, Princess · Speech: someone speaks here
