The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 28, sentence 13

'Let me consult my cap,' said the frog; and taking it off she laid it in a box, and threw in after it a few sprigs of juniper, some capers, and two peas, which she carried under her right leg; she then shut down the lid of the box, and murmured some words which the queen did not catch.

Who acts: frog, me, queen · What happens: let, consult, say, take off, lay, throw · To what, where: me, cap, frog, box, few sprigs, two peas · Speech: someone speaks here
