The Blue Fairy Book, The Tale of a Youth Who Set Out to Learn What Fear Was, sentence 226

You can imagine the Queen’s delight at hearing the name, and when the little man stepped in shortly afterward and asked: “Now, my lady Queen, what’s my name?” she asked first: “Is your name Conrad?”

Who acts: You, delight, little man, lady, Queen · What happens: imagine, hear, step in, ask, be, delight · To what, where: delight, name · Speech: someone speaks here
