The Blue Fairy Book, Chapter III, sentence 47

But these rebels, the Bigendians, have found so much encouragement at the Emperor of Blefuscu’s Court, to which they always fled for refuge, that a bloody war, as I said, has been carried on between the two empires for six-and-thirty moons; and now the Blefuscudians have equipped a large fleet, and are preparing to descend upon us.

Who acts: Emperor, I, Blefuscudians · What happens: find, flee, say, carry, equip, prepare · To what, where: rebels, two empires, large fleet · Speech: someone speaks here
