The Yellow Fairy Book, Hermod and Hadvor (32), sentence 25
As soon as the Queen had finished her speech Hermod replied that he also laid a spell on her, and that was, that as soon as he was freed from her enchantments she should become a rat and her daughter a mouse, and fight with each other in the hall until he killed them with his sword.
Who acts: Queen, speech, that · What happens: finish, reply, lay, free, be, fight · To what, where: spell, speech, enchantments, rat, hall · Speech: someone speaks here
