The Red Fairy Book, The Little Good Mouse, sentence 110

Thus fifteen years went by, and the Queen had somewhat recovered from her grief, when the news reached her that the son of the wicked King wished to marry the little maiden who kept the turkeys, and that she had refused him; the wedding-dresses had been made, nevertheless, and the festivities were to be so splendid that all the people for leagues round were flocking in to be present at them.

Who acts: fifteen years, Queen, news, son, little maiden, festivities · What happens: go by, recover, reach, wish, marry, keep · To what, where: grief, Queen, little maiden, turkeys, son, wedding dresses
