English Fairy Tales, The Three Heads of the Well, sentence 61

The death of the queen so pleased the king, who was glad to get rid of her so soon, that he gave the cobbler a hundred pounds to quit the Court with his lady, and take to a remote part of the kingdom, where he lived many years mending shoes, his wife spinning the thread for him.

Who acts: king, cobbler, many years, wife, queen · What happens: be, get, give, quit, take, live · To what, where: hundred pounds, cobbler, Court, shoes, thread
