The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 2, sentence 58

Everything in the King’s palace was hung with black, and everyone was sorrowful and distressed; but Ritter Red said that he did not think that they had much reason to be afraid—he had delivered the King’s daughter from two Trolls, so he could easily deliver her from the third as well.

Who acts: everyone, Ritter, occasions · What happens: hang, be, distress, say, not think, have · To what, where: Everything, much reason, daughter, two Trolls · Speech: someone speaks here
