The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 94

At the same instant he found himself in a great forest, beside a clear lake, in which he could see plainly the horrible creature he had become, and a voice said to him:

Who acts: word, voice · What happens: find, see, become, say · To what, where: word, same instant, horrible creature · Speech: someone speaks here
