The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 5, sentence 6

All this happened several years ago, and the other day I saw in the _Rotundia Times_ an account of the wedding of the Princess with Lord Thomas Gardener, K.C.D., and I knew she could not have married anyone but Tom, so I suppose they made him a Lord on purpose for the wedding--and _K.C.D.

Who acts: this, I, gardeners · What happens: happen, see, know, not marry, suppose, make · To what, where: account, Times, K.C.D, Lord, Tom, purpose · Speech: someone speaks here
