The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 3, sentence 11
All the Court cried: “Long live Queen Miranda!” after him, and the young Queen’s two sisters came running up, and threw their arms round her neck, and kissed her a thousand times, and then there was such a laughing and crying, talking and kissing, all at once, and Miranda thanked her father, and began to ask after everyone--particularly the Captain of the Guard, to whom she owed so much; but, to her great sorrow, she heard that he was dead.
Who acts: Court, two sisters, Miranda, sister · What happens: cry, live, come, run up, throw, kiss · To what, where: Miranda, arms, sister, laughing, father, much · Speech: someone speaks here
