The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 2, sentence 56

None of these things could terrify the noble young King, and the boldness of his looks and actions reassured those who were looking on, and perhaps even embarrassed the Yellow Dwarf himself; but even _his_ courage gave way when he saw what was happening to his beloved Princess.

Who acts: None, boldness, courage, Dwarf · What happens: terrify, reassure, look on, embarrass, give, see · To what, where: noble young King, those, Yellow Dwarf, way · Speech: someone speaks here
