The Blue Fairy Book, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, sentence 70

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-grandmother, and had a point band peeping over a high collar; she looked not a bit less charming and beautiful 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, bit · Speech: someone speaks here
