The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 3, sentence 70

It went against all his ideas as a knight to do anything a lady begged him not to do; but, as he hesitated, a voice in his ear said:

Who acts: way, lady, King, voice · What happens: go, do, beg, not do, hesitate, say · To what, where: ideas, anything, King · Speech: someone speaks here
