Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Miser in the Bush, sentence 114

When night came she wanted to go home; and the king’s son would go with her, and said to himself, ‘I will not lose her this time’; but, however, she again slipped away from him, though in such a hurry that she dropped her left golden slipper upon the stairs.

Who acts: night, lady, son, I · What happens: come, want, go, say, not lose, slip away · To what, where: son, left golden slipper, stairs · Speech: someone speaks here
