The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 65

“Yesterday, master, you talked about this Master-maid, and to-day you are talking about her; ah, heaven bless you, master, why will you not show me the thing? for it would be a real pleasure to me to see it,” said the Prince, who again pretended to be silly and stupid.

Who acts: you, heaven, Prince · What happens: talk, bless, not show, be, see, say · To what, where: you, thing, Prince, heaven · Speech: someone speaks here
