Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Prince and Princess, sentence 28

They gave notice that every young man who was handsome was free to visit the castle and speak with the princess; and those who could reply loud enough to be heard when spoken to, were to make themselves quite at home at the palace; but the one who spoke best would be chosen as a husband for the princess.

Who acts: newspapers, young man, notice, those, one · What happens: give, be, visit, speak, reply, hear · To what, where: notice, castle, newspapers, home, best, one · Speech: someone speaks here
