The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, _thomas Bodkin_, part 3, sentence 31

The Queen said more than once to her son, in order to bring him to speak freely to her, that a young man must e'en take his pleasure; but he never dared to trust her with his secret; he feared her, tho' he loved her; for she was of the race of the Ogres, and the King would never have married her, had it not been for her vast riches; it was even whispered about the court, that she had Ogreish inclinations, and that, whenever she saw little children passing by, she had all the difficulty in the world to refrain from falling upon them.

Who acts: Queen, young man, son, race, that, little children · What happens: say, bring, speak, take, not dare, not trust · To what, where: son, Queen, pleasure, King, Ogreish inclinations, little children · Speech: someone speaks here
