The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 5, sentence 1

Although she was half stifled from her confinement in the chest, the princess speedily revived, and, when she was able to sit up, the prince began to question her as to who she was and how she came to be shut up in the chest and set afloat upon the water; and she, blushing and trembling to find herself in the presence of so many strangers, told him that she was the princess of Rahmatabad, and that she had been put into the chest by her own father.

Who acts: princess, prince, own father, her · What happens: stifle, revive, be, sit up, begin, question · To what, where: she, confinement, princess, chest, presence, prince · Speech: someone speaks here
