The Red Fairy Book, Princess Rosette, sentence 197

At first the King of the Peacocks was taken aback by this bold speech, and had half a mind to send them all away together; but his Prime Minister declared that it would never do to let such a trick as that pass unpunished, everybody would laugh at him; so the accusation was drawn up against them, that they were impostors, and that they had promised the King a beautiful Princess in marriage who, when she arrived, proved to be an ugly peasant girl.

Who acts: bold speech, Prime Minister, mind, that, everybody, King · What happens: take, have, send away, declare, not do, let · To what, where: mind, King, trick, accusation, impostors, ugly peasant girl
