Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Prince and Princess, sentence 22

'Why not indeed?' said she, and so she determined to marry if she could find a husband who knew what to say when he was spoken to, and not one who could only look grand, for that was so tiresome.

Who acts: princess, husband, one, that · What happens: say, determine, marry, find, know, speak · To what, where: husband · Speech: someone speaks here
