The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 8

“Well to be sure, he is an easy master!” said the Prince to himself as he walked up and down the room humming and singing, for he thought there would be plenty of time left to clean out the stable; “but it would be amusing to steal a glance into his other rooms as well,” thought the Prince, “for there must be something that he is afraid of my seeing, as I am not allowed to enter them.”

Who acts: king, easy master, room, it, Prince · What happens: be, say, walk up, hum, sing, think · To what, where: easy master, king, plenty, stable, glance, other rooms · Speech: someone speaks here
