The king and queen and princess were safe up in their gallery, but the officers and people of the court that wor padrowling about the great bawn, when they saw the big baste coming in, gave themselves up, and began to make for doors and gates; and the wolf licked his chops, as if he was saying, "Wouldn't I enjoy a breakfast off a couple of yez!"

Who acts: king, that, wor, officers, big baste, wolf · What happens: be, wor, padrowl, see, come in, give up · To what, where: gallery, big baste, officers, chops, breakfast · Speech: someone speaks here
