The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 51
So they all went into the church together, but there was scarcely any one who listened to what the priest was saying, for they were all looking far too much at her, and the Prince fell much more deeply in love with her than he had been before.
Who acts: horse, one, priest, Prince · What happens: go, be, listen, say, look, fall · To what, where: church, one, much, love · Speech: someone speaks here
