The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 17, sentence 38

'None can get it save Pinkel,' said they; for they did not imagine that the witch, after two warnings, could allow their brother to escape a third time.

Who acts: None, throne, men · What happens: get, save, say, not imagine, allow, escape · To what, where: throne, Pinkel, witch, brother · Speech: someone speaks here
