The Green Fairy Book, Prince Narcissus and the Princess Potentilla, sentence 113

It was about seven o’clock in the morning when this extraordinary chariot reached the palace gates; the King was already astir, and about to set off on a hunting expedition; as for the Queen, she had only just gone off into her first sleep, and it would have been a bold person indeed who ventured to wake her.

Who acts: knee, extraordinary chariot, King, Queen, bold person · What happens: be, reach, set off, go off, venture, wake · To what, where: seven o’clock, palace gates, hunting expedition, first sleep, bold person, Queen
