The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 1, sentence 107

Being crowned is much more tiring work than you would suppose, and by the time it was over, and Lionel had worn the Royal robes for an hour or two and had had his hand kissed by everybody whose business it was to do it, he was quite worn out, and was very glad to get into the Palace nursery.

Who acts: you, Minister · What happens: crown, be, suppose, wear, have, kiss · To what, where: more tiring work, Lionel, hand, Palace nursery · Speech: someone speaks here
