The Blue Fairy Book, The Princess on the Glass Hill, sentence 90

Cinderlad wanted to go with them to look at the riding, but the two brothers would not have him in their company, and when they got to the glass hill there was no one who could ride even so far as a yard up it, and everyone waited for the knight in silver armor, but he was neither to be seen nor heard of.

Who acts: Cinderlad, two brothers, ashes, one, everyone · What happens: want, go, look, not have, get, be · To what, where: Cinderlad, company, silver armor, brother
