The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 68
So they all hastened into the church together and the priest got into the pulpit, but no one listened to what he said, for they were looking far too much at her and wondering whence she came; and the Prince was far more in love than he had been on either of the former occasions, and he was mindful of nothing but of looking at her.
Who acts: priest, horse, daughter, one, Prince · What happens: hasten, get, listen, say, look, wonder · To what, where: horse, church, pulpit, one, much, love · Speech: someone speaks here
