The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 23, sentence 38

The first thing to be done was to conceal the hole which had been cut, and when this was managed (with the help of the angry fairy, though they did not know it), Cerisette hastened to take off her own clothes, and put on those of the princess, placing the crown of diamonds on her head.

Who acts: first thing, Tulip · What happens: do, be, cut, manage, not know, hasten · To what, where: hole, this, own clothes, those, crown, head
