The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 30

When he was quite ready--and I can assure you that he looked very different from the wet and weary Prince who had stood outside in the rain, and pulled the deer’s foot--the hands led him to a splendid room, upon the walls of which were painted the histories of Puss in Boots and a number of other famous cats.

Who acts: Love, I, hands · What happens: be, assure, look, stand, pull, lead · To what, where: you, rain, foot, Love, splendid room, histories
