But the second time she went into the room, happening to be tired, she sat down in one of the chairs, when instantly the curtain was rolled aside, and a most amusing pantomime was acted before her; there were dances, and colored lights, and music, and pretty dresses, and it was all so gay that Beauty was in ecstacies.

Who acts: Beauty, dances, curtain · What happens: go, happen, be, sit down, roll, act · To what, where: colored lights, room, curtain, amusing pantomime, ecstacies
