The Blue Fairy Book, The Princess on the Glass Hill, sentence 80

The Princess liked this knight still better than she had liked the other, and sat longing that he might be able to get up above, and when she saw him turning back she threw the second apple after him, and it rolled into his shoe, and as soon as he had got down the glass hill he rode away so fast that no one could see what had become of him.

Who acts: Princess, knight, armor, one · What happens: like, sit, long, be, get up, see · To what, where: knight, other, second apple, shoe, glass hill · Speech: someone speaks here
