The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 2, sentence 28

For they will all come round about you; but you must behave just as if you did not see them, and on no account must you taste anything, for if you do it will cause great misery both to you and to me,” said she; and this he promised.

Who acts: horses, you, account, maid, this · What happens: come round, behave, not see, taste, cause, say · To what, where: horses, anything, account, great misery, you · Speech: someone speaks here
