The Violet Fairy Book, The Girl Who Pretended to Be a Boy, part 2, sentence 61

The emperor was so astonished that he forgot to scold, and while he was thinking over the matter, some of his pages came in and said that their new companion had been heard to boast that he knew where Iliane was to be found--the celebrated Iliane of the song which begins:

Who acts: emperor, two, some, new companion, song · What happens: be, forget, not scold, think, come in, say · To what, where: matter, new companion, Iliane · Speech: someone speaks here
