The Book of Dragons, Kind Little Edmund], sentence 110

"He'll jolly well have to believe it soon, anyhow," said Edmund to himself, and though he was a very tender-hearted boy--I think it only fair to tell you that he was this--I am afraid he was not as sorry as he ought to have been to think of the way in which his master was going to learn how to believe what Edmund said.

Who acts: shower, Edmund, I, master · What happens: have, believe, say, be, think, tell · To what, where: heart, shower, tender hearted boy, you, this, way · Speech: someone speaks here
