At length, seeing she did not move, one bolder than the rest put its head out of an upper window of the castle, and said, in a trembling voice:
Who acts: she, rest · What happens: see, not move, put, say · To what, where: one bolder, length, head, upper window, trembling voice · Speech: someone speaks here
