The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 96

Up to this time Aveline had been able to put a stop to many of Grimace’s spiteful tricks, and to keep guard over Minon-Minette, but she had no power over anything that happened at a distance; and when the princess declared her intention of putting herself at the head of her army, and began to train herself to bear fatigue by hunting daily, the fairy entreated her to be careful never to cross the borders of her dominions without Aveline to protect her.

Who acts: Aveline, princess, intention, fairy, Grimace · What happens: be, put, keep, have, happen, declare · To what, where: stop, guard, Minon, power, anything, intention
