The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 13

When she had by compliments and entreaties pacified the unknown Fairy, and persuaded her to say no more, she gave the King a hint that now was the time to distribute the presents, after which ceremony they all took their departure, excepting the Fairy Genesta, who then went to see the Queen, and said to her:

Who acts: doubt, Fairies, Fairy Genesta · What happens: have, pacify, persuade, say, give, be · To what, where: unknown Fairy, doubt, more, hint, King, time · Speech: someone speaks here
