The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 3, sentence 55

The Fairy Paribanou came with all imaginable haste, not knowing what made Prince Ahmed return so soon, who, not giving her time to ask him the reason, said: “Princess, I desire you would have compassion on this good woman,” pointing to the magician, who was held up by two of his retinue.

Who acts: Fairy Paribanou, I, you · What happens: come, not know, make, not give, ask, say · To what, where: return, Prince Ahmed, reason, Ahmed, Princess, compassion · Speech: someone speaks here
