The Green Fairy Book, Prince Vivien and the Princess Placida, part 1, sentence 2

Indeed the Queen, whose name was Santorina, was so pretty and so kind-hearted that it would have been a wonder if her husband had not been fond of her, while King Gridelin himself was a perfect bundle of good qualities, for the Fairy who presided at his christening had summoned the shades of all his ancestors, and taken something good from each of them to form his character.

Who acts: name, it, husband, King, Fairy, Santorina · What happens: be, heart, not be, preside, summon, take · To what, where: Santorina, wonder, perfect bundle, shades, christening, something
