The Red Fairy Book, Graciosa and Percinet, part 2, sentence 84
The wicked Queen was in such a hurry to punish Graciosa that she thought the sun would never set; and indeed it was before the appointed time that she came with her four Fairies, and as she fitted the three keys into the locks she said:
Who acts: wicked Queen, Graciosa, sun · What happens: be, punish, think, not set, appoint, come · To what, where: hurry, Graciosa, three keys, locks · Speech: someone speaks here
