The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, _thomas Bodkin_, part 3, sentence 26

The Prince helped the Princess to rise, she was entirely dressed, and very magnificently, but his Royal Highness took care not to tell her that she was dressed like his great grand-mother, and had a point-band peeping over a high collar; she looked not a bit the less beautiful and charming for all that.

Who acts: Prince, Royal Highness, point band, Princess · What happens: help, rise, dress, take, not tell, have · To what, where: Princess, care, point band · Speech: someone speaks here
