The Red Fairy Book, Princess Rosette, sentence 61
After this they took Rosette to the beautiful castle, and the peacock was brought with her, and told to walk about on the terrace outside her windows, so that she might always see him, and then the ladies of the court came to see the Princess, and they brought her beautiful presents—dresses and ribbons and sweetmeats, diamonds and pearls and dolls and embroidered slippers, and she was so well brought up, and said, ‘Thank you!’ so prettily, and was so gracious, that everyone went away delighted with her.
Who acts: King, sister, ladies, everyone · What happens: take, bring, tell, walk, see, come · To what, where: Rosette, beautiful castle, peacock, terrace, ear, Princess · Speech: someone speaks here
