The Green Fairy Book, Prince Vivien and the Princess Placida, part 3, sentence 95

But with all their good intentions, they often made mistakes, for Vivien and Placida were never of one mind about their plans, so it was very confusing, and they frequently found themselves obeying the Prince’s orders, very, very slowly, and rushing off with lightning speed to do something that the Princess did not wish to have done at all, until, by-and-by, the two cousins took to consulting with, and consoling one another in all these little vexations, and at last came to be so fond of each other that for Placida’s sake Vivien became quite patient, and for Vivien’s sake Placida made the most unheard-of exertions.

Who acts: adventures, Vivien, mind, Princess, two cousins, sake · What happens: make, not be, be, find, obey, rush off · To what, where: mistakes, adventures, orders, something, all, one · Speech: someone speaks here
