The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 10, sentence 120

It is quite a simple sum, as you see: You could do it in a minute because you have been to a good school and have taken pains with your lessons; but it was quite otherwise with poor Nigel.

Who acts: tide, you · What happens: be, see, do, take · To what, where: simple sum, tide, you · Speech: someone speaks here
