The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 27

The Prince could not believe that any danger threatened him when he was welcomed in this way, so, guided by the mysterious hands, he went toward a door of coral, which opened of its own accord, and he found himself in a vast hall of mother-of-pearl, out of which opened a number of other rooms, glittering with thousands of lights, and full of such beautiful pictures and precious things that the Prince felt quite bewildered.

Who acts: Prince, danger, Love, coral, precious things · What happens: not believe, threaten, welcome, guide, go, open · To what, where: Love, way, door, vast hall, number, precious things
