The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 3, sentence 49

Now the natural history lesson is over, and if you have been attending, you know more about Rotundia than anyone there did, except three people: the Lord Chief Schoolmaster, the Princess's uncle--who was a magician, and knew everything without learning it--and Tom, the gardener's son.

Who acts: natural history lesson, you, uncle, Lord Chief · What happens: be, attend, know, do, learn · To what, where: more, magician, everything
