The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 2, sentence 87
‘Oh, what can you want with that dirty, ragged boy, in here?’ said Ritter Red, but the Princess said that she insisted on having him as cup-bearer and would have no one else; and at last she got leave, and then everything was done as had been agreed on between the Princess and Minnikin.
Who acts: you, that, Ritter Red, Princess · What happens: want, boy, say, insist, have, get · To what, where: Red, one, last, everything · Speech: someone speaks here
