Grimms' Fairy Tales, Iron Hans, sentence 217

When the king got to the bottom, he ordered Cat-skin to be called once more, and soon saw the white finger, and the ring that he had put on it whilst they were dancing: so he seized her hand, and kept fast hold of it, and when she wanted to loose herself and spring away, the fur cloak fell off a little on one side, and the starry dress sparkled underneath it.

Who acts: king, fingers, dance, fur cloak, starry dress · What happens: get, order, call, see, put, dance · To what, where: Cat, white finger, ring, hand, fast hold, dance · Speech: someone speaks here
