The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 3, sentence 4

As time went on, in spite of the admiration of the whole Court and the blind fondness of the King and Queen, it became more and more evident that something was fatally wrong: for those who love no one cannot long be loved; and at last the King called a general assembly, and invited the Fairies to attend, that they might, if possible, find out what was the matter.

Who acts: heart, something, last King, Fairies · What happens: go on, become, be, love, not love, call · To what, where: spite, one, general assembly, Fairies, matter, admiration · Speech: someone speaks here
