Stories of Charlemagne and the twelve Peers of France, How Charlemagne Sought Vengeance, sentence 229

These are strange words," said Alda the Fair; "God and His blessed saints forbid that I should live now that my Roland is dead," and as she spake she grew deadly pale, and fell at the King's feet, and when they took her up, lo! she was dead.

Who acts: These, Alda, strange words, I, Roland, one more · What happens: be, say, forbid, live, speak, grow · To what, where: strange words, feet, one more · Speech: someone speaks here
