The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 53

Never was there a pleasanter hunting party, and when they returned to the castle the Prince and the White Cat supped together as before, but when they had finished she offered him a crystal goblet, which must have contained a magic draught, for, as soon as he had swallowed its contents, he forgot everything, even the little dog that he was seeking for the King, and only thought how happy he was to be with the White Cat!

Who acts: cats, monkey, party · What happens: not be, return, sup, finish, offer, contain · To what, where: White Cat, crystal goblet, party, everything, little dog · Speech: someone speaks here
