Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Water of Life, sentence 72

Meanwhile the princess was eagerly waiting till her deliverer should come back; and had a road made leading up to her palace all of shining gold; and told her courtiers that whoever came on horseback, and rode straight up to the gate upon it, was her true lover; and that they must let him in: but whoever rode on one side of it, they must be sure was not the right one; and that they must send him away at once.

Who acts: princess, eagerly waiting, road, whoever, courtiers · What happens: be, come back, have, make, lead up, shine · To what, where: eagerly waiting, road, gold, courtiers, horseback, gate · Speech: someone speaks here
