The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 3

Unhappily he had not heard the magic words uttered by the wizard, and he could not manage to draw the three circles, so if he was to summon the colt at all he must invent some other means of doing it.

Who acts: colt, other · What happens: not hear, utter, not manage, not draw, be, invent · To what, where: magic words, three circles, all, way · Speech: someone speaks here
