The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Upon Earth"], sentence 8

They say, that the Princess, having made due reflection on the perseverance of her lover, his discretion, and all the good qualities of his mind, his wit and judgment, saw no longer the deformity of his body, nor the ugliness of his face; that his hump seemed to her no more than the homely air of one who has a broad back; and that whereas till then she saw him limp horribly, she found it nothing more than a certain sidling air, which charmed her.

Who acts: men, good qualities, hump, that, Princess, certain sidling air · What happens: say, make, see, seem, have, wherea · To what, where: Princess, perseverance, deformity, more, broad back, hump · Speech: someone speaks here
