The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 31, sentence 2

Niels knew the princess again as soon as she entered the room, and was greatly alarmed, for he immediately supposed that all this was a device to discover the person who had run away with the sword, the slipper and the half of the handkerchief, and that it would fare badly with him if he were discovered.

Who acts: Niels, princess, this, person, room · What happens: know, enter, alarm, suppose, be, discover · To what, where: princess, room, device, person, Niels
