The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 31

“Yes, I will attend to that,” said the Prince, and stayed sitting where he was the whole day, for it was soon settled between them that they would marry each other, he and the King’s daughter; so the first day of his service with the giant did not seem long to him.

Who acts: Prince, people, giant · What happens: attend, say, stay, sit, be, settle · To what, where: whole day, pitchforksful, each, service · Speech: someone speaks here
