The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Her With a Sauce Robert'"], sentence 29
The Ogress presently knew the voice of the Queen and her children, and being quite mad that she had been thus deceived, she commanded next morning, by break of day (with a most horrible voice, which made every body tremble) that they should bring into the middle of the great court a large tub, which she caused to be filled with toads, vipers, snakes, and all sorts of serpents, in order to have thrown into it the Queen and her children, the clerk of the kitchen, his wife and maid; all whom she had given orders should be brought thither with their hands tied behind them.
Who acts: Ogress, Queen, horrible voice, wolves, large tub, sorts · What happens: know, be, command, make, bring, cause · To what, where: voice, body tremble, break, middle, sorts, Queen · Speech: someone speaks here
