The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 3, sentence 19

However, he paid his respects to the King very gracefully, and asked permission to kiss the hand of the Princess in the usual manner; but when he said he was called ‘Mannikin,’ the King could hardly repress a smile, and the Princes who stood by openly shouted with laughter.

Who acts: Prince, permission, King, Princes · What happens: pay, ask, kiss, say, call, repress · To what, where: respects, permission, hand, usual manner, Prince, smile · Speech: someone speaks here
