The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 37

The Prince had never seen the equal of that glove, and he went far and wide, asking after the country which the proud lady, who rode away without her glove, had said that she came from, but there was no one who could tell him where it lay.

Who acts: Prince, country, proud lady, Bathland, asking, one · What happens: not see, go, ask, lady, ride away, say · To what, where: equal, one, Prince · Speech: someone speaks here
