The Yellow Fairy Book, The Magic Ring, sentence 140

Then she told them that by the next morning they were to do away with the castle, and the bridge, and the church, and put in their stead the humble hut in which Martin used to live with his mother, and that while he slept her husband was to be carried to his old lowly room; and that they were to bear her away to the utmost ends of the earth, where an old King lived who would make her welcome in his palace, and surround her with the state that befitted a royal Princess.

Who acts: feast, words, Martin, old King, state · What happens: tell, do away, put, use, live, sleep · To what, where: bridge, words, stead, humble hut, husband, old lowly room · Speech: someone speaks here
