The Blue Fairy Book, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, sentence 109

The Ogress presently knew the voice of the Queen and her children, and being quite mad that she had been thus deceived, she commanded next morning, by break of day (with a most horrible voice, which made everybody tremble), that they should bring into the middle of the great court a large tub, which she caused to be filled with toads, vipers, snakes, and all sorts of serpents, in order to have thrown into it the Queen and her children, the clerk of the kitchen, his wife and maid; all whom she had given orders should be brought thither with their hands tied behind them.

Who acts: Ogress, queen, horrible voice, children, large tub, sorts · What happens: know, be, have, command, make, bring · To what, where: voice, everybody tremble, middle, sorts, Queen, orders · Speech: someone speaks here
