The Yellow Fairy Book, How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World, part 1, sentence 89

I said secretly, because the Fairy had warned the Queen that the King was a magician; and as from time immemorial there had been a standing feud between the Fairies and the Wizards, he might not have approved of his wife’s visit.

Who acts: I, King, Fairies, wife · What happens: say, warn, be, stand, not approve, visit · To what, where: Fairy, Queen, magician, standing feud, King · Speech: someone speaks here
