The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 2, sentence 48

I have often been in the forest; that is where I have seen you, lovely Princess, sometimes driving your chariot, which you did with all the grace and skill in the world; sometimes riding to the chase on so spirited a horse that it seemed as if no one but yourself could have managed it, and sometimes running races on the plain with the Princesses of your Court--running so lightly that it was you always who won the prize.

Who acts: I, that, you, it, horse · What happens: have, be, see, drive, do, ride on · To what, where: forest, you, chariot, chase, horse, yourself
