The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 5, sentence 12

The Prince immediately perceived Schaibar coming gravely with his heavy bar on his shoulder, his long beard, which he held up before him, and a pair of thick mustachios, which he tucked behind his ears and almost covered his face; his eyes were very small and deep-set in his head, which was far from being of the smallest size, and on his head he wore a grenadier’s cap; besides all this, he was very much hump-backed.

Who acts: Prince, long beard, thick mustachios, eyes · What happens: perceive, come, hold up, tuck, cover, be · To what, where: Schaibar, ears, face, head, smallest size, cap
