The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 66

This was quite another case, and the king had more talk with the stableman, who said that he could easily lend the king the six bushels of money, but would only do it on condition that he should be allowed to accompany the king when he went to pay the debt, and that he should then be dressed like the king’s court fool, and run before him.

Who acts: This, king, stableman, lie · What happens: be, have, say, lend, do, allow · To what, where: case, more talk, six bushels, king, money, condition · Speech: someone speaks here
