The Yellow Fairy Book, The Story of King Frost (26), sentence 6

The wicked shrew was determined to get rid of the girl by fair means or foul, and kept saying to her father: ‘Send her away, old man; send her away--anywhere so that my eyes sha’n’t be plagued any longer by the sight of her, or my ears tormented by the sound of her voice.

Who acts: wicked shrew, fair, sight · What happens: be, get, mean, keep, say, send away · To what, where: father, girl, eyes, ears · Speech: someone speaks here
