The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 3, sentence 88

The King was still at table, and thought himself quite sure of his game; but when he heard Drakestail singing again, and when they told him all that had passed, he became furious and got up from table brandishing his fists.

Who acts: King, Quack, that, Drakestail · What happens: be, think, hear, sing, tell, pass · To what, where: table, King, Drakestail, fists · Speech: someone speaks here
