The Blue Fairy Book, Beauty and the Beast, part 3, sentence 3

But her happy dreams of the handsome young Prince soon made her forget the poor Beast, and the only thing that at all disturbed her was to be constantly told to distrust appearances, to let her heart guide her, and not her eyes, and many other equally perplexing things, which, consider as she would, she could not understand.

Who acts: happy dreams, Beauty, only thing, heart, many other perplexing things · What happens: make, forget, disturb, tell, distrust, let · To what, where: Beauty, poor Beast, only thing, all, appearances, handsome young Prince · Speech: someone speaks here
