The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 7, sentence 75

"I'd go right enough if it wasn't for you," George answered gloomily, "but you know they always say I lead you into mischief--and if we went to the North Pole we should get our boots wet, as likely as not, and you remember what they said about not going on the grass."

Who acts: George, chance, you, we · What happens: go, not be, answer, know, say, lead · To what, where: you, mischief, boots, grass · Speech: someone speaks here
