The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 5, sentence 24

When they arrived at the gates of the capital the people no sooner saw Schaibar but they ran and hid themselves; and some shut up their shops and locked themselves up in their houses, while others, flying, communicated their fear to all they met, who stayed not to look behind them, but ran too; insomuch that Schaibar and Prince Ahmed, as they went along, found the streets all desolate till they came to the palaces where the porters, instead of keeping the gates, ran away too, so that the Prince and Schaibar advanced without any obstacle to the council-hall, where the Sultan was seated on his throne, and giving audience.

Who acts: eyes, people, some, streets, porters, Prince · What happens: arrive, no, see, run, hide, shut up · To what, where: gates, Schaibar, people, shops, houses, fear · Speech: someone speaks here
