The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 3, sentence 3

The Fairy of the Desert was delighted to hear them sing of her triumphs; she led the King into the most splendid room that can be imagined, and left him alone for a little while, just that he might not feel that he was a prisoner; but he felt sure that she had not really gone quite away, but was watching him from some hiding-place.

Who acts: Fairy, them, King · What happens: be, hear, sing, lead, imagine, leave · To what, where: them, King, splendid room, prisoner, hiding place
