The Red Fairy Book, The Enchanted Pig, sentence 72

He would gladly have turned the Pig’s thoughts in another direction, as he did not wish to give him the Princess for a wife; but when he heard that the Court and the whole street were full of all the pigs in the world he saw that there was no escape, and that he must give his consent.

Who acts: King, Court, escape, Pig · What happens: turn, not wish, give, hear, be, see · To what, where: thoughts, Princess, pigs, consent · Speech: someone speaks here
