The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 9, sentence 71

‘The newspapers came out next morning with a border of hearts round it, and the princess’s monogram on it, and inside you could read that every good-looking young man might come into the palace and speak to the princess, and whoever should speak loud enough to be heard would be well fed and looked after, and the one who spoke best should become the princess’s husband.

Who acts: newspapers, you, looking young man, whoever, one · What happens: come out, read, look, come, speak, hear · To what, where: monogram, palace, best, husband · Speech: someone speaks here
