The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 2, sentence 4

And then the hands appeared carrying torches, and conducted the Prince and the White Cat to a long gallery which overlooked the river, from the windows of which they saw a magnificent display of fireworks of all sorts; after which they had supper, which the Prince liked even better than the fireworks, for it was very late, and he was hungry after his long ride.

Who acts: hands, long gallery, Prince, supper, King · What happens: appear, carry, conduct, overlook, see, have · To what, where: torches, Prince, long gallery, river, windows, magnificent display
