The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 5

So, when the moment of the christening arrived the King--to whom the task had been entrusted--had barely reached the end of the second page and his tongue was tripping with fatigue and haste as he repeated the usual formula: ‘I conjure and pray you, Fairy so-and-so’--or ‘Enchanter such-a-one’--‘to honour me with a visit, and graciously bestow your gifts upon my son.’

Who acts: moment, tongue, I, Enchanter, your · What happens: arrive, entrust, reach, trip, repeat, conjure · To what, where: King, task, end, usual formula, Fairy, you
