The Red Fairy Book, The Three Princesses of Whiteland, sentence 80

‘Well,’ said the North Wind, ‘you can easily go a little quicker than I can, for I have to puff and blow into every corner; but when you get there, place yourself on the stairs by the side of the door, and then I will come blustering in as if I wanted to blow down the whole castle, and when the Prince who is to have your Queen comes out to see what is astir, just take him by the throat and fling him out, and then I will try to carry him away from court.’

Who acts: North Wind, you, I, Prince, Queen · What happens: say, go, have, puff, blow, get · To what, where: corner, yourself, stairs, whole castle, Wind, court · Speech: someone speaks here
