The Red Fairy Book, The Princess Mayblossom, part 1, sentence 82

‘Sir Ambassador, I am sure that everything you intend to say is charming, since it is you who mean to say it; but let us make haste into the palace, as it is pouring cats and dogs, and the wicked Fairy Carabosse will be amused to see us all stand dripping here.

Who acts: Ambassador, you, everything, embarrassment, us, wicked Fairy Carabosse · What happens: be, intend, say, charm, mean, let · To what, where: you, embarrassment, us, haste, palace, cats · Speech: someone speaks here
