Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Porter's Son, part 1, sentence 40

A man might well have a bee in his bonnet, when he had such a coat of arms to carry as that, let alone having to carry two; and the General's wife had a bee in hers when she drove to the court ball, as stiff and as proud as you please.

Who acts: man, wife, lady · What happens: have, carry, let, drive · To what, where: bee, bonnet, coat, two, court ball
