The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Towards Her"], sentence 157

The torment that he gave himself, planning how he might see her to whom the ring belonged, not daring to believe that if he asked for Donkey-skin she would be allowed to come, and not daring to speak of what he had seen through the keyhole for fear that he would be laughed at for a dreamer, brought back the fever with great violence.

Who acts: torment, ring, girl, dreamer · What happens: give, plan, see, belong, not dare, not believe · To what, where: torment, girl, keyhole, fever · Speech: someone speaks here
