The Red Fairy Book, Princess Rosette, sentence 232

Away went Frisk, and as there was no better dinner cooking in all the town than the King’s, he adroitly took the cover off the pot and brought all it contained to the Princess, who said:

Who acts: Frisk, pot, Princess · What happens: go, be, take, bring, contain, say · To what, where: Frisk, better dinner cooking, town, cover, pot · Speech: someone speaks here
