The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 27, sentence 13

She cried nearly all the way, and when she arrived she cried still more, for everything in the castle was dusty and old, and outside there was only a gravelled courtyard, and the king had forbidden her to go beyond the walls without at least two soldiers to take care of her.

Who acts: queen, everything, king · What happens: cry, arrive, be, gravell, forbid, go · To what, where: way, more, gravelled courtyard, queen, walls, care
