The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 3, sentence 75

Mannikin at once replied, relating all that had happened since they parted, not forgetting to mention the event which had just involved Farda-Kinbras and Brandatimor in this deadly quarrel, and he ended by entreating his faithful friend to despatch a few thousands of his veteran spaniels to his assistance.

Who acts: that, services, event, Mannikin, veteran · What happens: reply, relate, happen, part, not forget, mention · To what, where: Mannikin, event, deadly quarrel, involved Farda, faithful friend, few thousands
