The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 22, sentence 80
Do not let her out of your sight,' said Tulip to the queen, 'and meanwhile, let her portrait be painted and carried to the neighbouring Courts, as is the custom in order that the kings may see how far her beauty exceeds that of every other princess, and that they may demand her in marriage for their sons.'
Who acts: Tulip, kings, beauty, king, your, princess · What happens: not let, say, let, paint, carry, be · To what, where: princess, sight, portrait, neighbouring Courts, order, custom · Speech: someone speaks here
