The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 3, sentence 84

When she heard what the shepherd said she could not help laughing, for there is no denying the fact that this young shepherd with the staring eyes pleased her very much; indeed he pleased her better than any king’s son she had yet seen.

Who acts: wife, shepherd, denying fact · What happens: hear, say, not help, laugh, be, deny · To what, where: son · Speech: someone speaks here
