The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 140

Here he was interrupted by a noise above his head--someone was opening a window, and he saw with delight that it was Celia herself, who came forward and threw out a plate of most delicious-looking food, then the window was shut again, and Prince Darling, who had not had anything to eat all day, thought he might as well take the opportunity of getting something.

Who acts: noise, someone, prince, delight, Prince Darling, opportunity · What happens: interrupt, open, see, be, come forward, throw out · To what, where: prince, window, Celia, plate, anything, opportunity · Speech: someone speaks here
