The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 44

The sight of the latter made the Prince feel as if he could not enjoy his supper at all; but the White Cat, seeing this, assured him that the dishes intended for him were prepared in a separate kitchen, and he might be quite certain that they contained neither rats nor mice; and the Prince felt so sure that she would not deceive him that he had no more hesitation in beginning.

Who acts: sight, Prince, dishes, mother · What happens: make, feel, not enjoy, see, assure, intend · To what, where: Prince, supper, all, this, sight, dishes
