The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 66

When he saw the Prince so downcast he asked what was the matter, and when he explained that he could not bear Celia’s bad opinion of him, and was resolved to be a better man in order to please her, this evil adviser said to him:

Who acts: prince, evil adviser, Celia · What happens: see, ask, explain, not bear, resolve, be · To what, where: Prince, bad opinion, better man, order, Celia, matter · Speech: someone speaks here
