The Red Fairy Book, Graciosa and Percinet, part 2, sentence 59

The poor old King quite trembled before her, and when she declared that Graciosa was not the Princess at all, but a wicked impostor, and that if the King did not give her up at once she would go back to her own castle and never see him again, he had not a word to say, and really seemed to believe that it was not Graciosa after all.

Who acts: poor old King, Graciosa, King, word · What happens: tremble, declare, not be, not give up, go back, not see · To what, where: wicked impostor, Princess, all, Graciosa, King · Speech: someone speaks here
