The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 1, sentence 63

The Princess, who, in spite of her wilfulness, really loved her mother with all her heart, was much grieved when she saw her looking so sad, and often asked her what was the matter; but the Queen, who didn’t want her to find out the truth, only said that she was ill, or that one of her neighbors was threatening to make war against her.

Who acts: Princess, Queen, one · What happens: love, grieve, see, look, ask, be · To what, where: mother, Princess, matter, queen, truth, war · Speech: someone speaks here
