The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 19

The walls were of the finest porcelain in all the most delicate colors, and the Prince saw that all the stories he had ever read were pictured upon them; but as he was terribly wet, and the rain still fell in torrents, he could not stay to look about any more, but came back to the golden door.

Who acts: walls, Prince, two, rain · What happens: be, see, read, picture, fall, not stay · To what, where: delicate colors, finest porcelain, stories, torrents, golden door · Speech: someone speaks here
