The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, _thomas Bodkin_, part 3, sentence 27

They went into the great hall of looking-glasses, where they supped, and were served by the Princess's officers; the violins and hautboys played old tunes, but very excellent, tho' it was now above a hundred years since they had been played; and after supper, without losing any time, the lord almoner married them in the chapel of the castle, and the chief lady of honour drew the curtains.

Who acts: love, great hall, officers, violins, Highness, lord almoner · What happens: go, look, sup, serve, play, be · To what, where: great hall, glasses, old tunes, love, chapel, curtains
