The Red Fairy Book, Graciosa and Percinet, part 1, sentence 91
They carried her back to the palace and put her to bed, but as soon as she recovered enough to be able to speak, she began to scold and rage, and declared that the whole affair was Graciosa’s fault, that she had contrived it on purpose to try and get rid of her, and that if the King would not have her punished, she would go back to her castle and enjoy her riches by herself.
Who acts: clothes, bride, whole affair, King · What happens: carry back, put, recover, be, speak, begin · To what, where: bride, palace, fault, purpose, riches · Speech: someone speaks here
