The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 14, sentence 24

The king looked at her and thought that she was mad; but, instead of ordering his guards to turn her out, he answered gravely:

Who acts: king, woman · What happens: look, think, be, order, turn out, answer · To what, where: guards, woman · Speech: someone speaks here
