The Blue Fairy Book, Felicia and the Pot of Pinks, sentence 73
That same lady came here once more, and commanded that you should be called Felicia, and left the ring and the pot of pinks to be given to you; and while she was in the house twenty-five of the King’s guards came to search for you, doubtless meaning to kill you; but she muttered a few words, and immediately they all turned into cabbages.
Who acts: same lady, lady, house, words · What happens: come, command, call, leave, give, be · To what, where: you, ring, house, few words, cabbages · Speech: someone speaks here
