The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 1, sentence 4

So he collected a great army and set off to fight them, leaving the Princesses with their governess in a castle where news of the war was brought every day--sometimes that the King had taken a town, or won a battle, and, at last, that he had altogether overcome his enemies and chased them out of his kingdom, and was coming back to the castle as quickly as possible, to see his dear little Miranda whom he loved so much.

Who acts: king · What happens: collect, set off, fight, leave, bring, take · To what, where: great army, neighbors, Princesses, news, town, battle
