The Red Fairy Book, The Princess Mayblossom, part 2, sentence 13
After the banquet came a ball, and after that again a ballet, and at last they were all so tired that everyone fell asleep just where he sat. Only the lovers were as wide-awake as mice, and the Princess, seeing that there was nothing to fear, said to Fanfaronade:
Who acts: Mayblossom, everyone, Fanfaronade, Princess, nothing · What happens: come, be, fall, see, fear, say · To what, where: ball, last, Fanfaronade · Speech: someone speaks here
