The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 22, sentence 94

The ambassador was greatly surprised and disappointed, but he knew too much about fairies to venture to disobey them, therefore he had to content himself with presenting the prince's portrait to the queen, who lost no time in carrying it to the princess.

Who acts: ambassador, spell, queen, time, prince · What happens: be, know, venture, disobey, have, content · To what, where: much, fairies, spell, portrait, queen, princess
