The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 12, sentence 110

This so frightened the pretended wife, who knew that if the physicians once came near her the trick would at once be discovered, that she forgot her mother's counsel not to speak, and forgot even the spell that had been laid upon her, and catching hold of the prince's tunic, she cried in tones of entreaty: 'Dirty creatures!'

Who acts: This, pretended wife, physicians, princess · What happens: frighten, pretend, know, come, discover, forget · To what, where: pretended wife, trick, counsel, spell, hold, Dirty creatures · Speech: someone speaks here
