The Red Fairy Book, The Twelve Brothers, sentence 135

At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man came in, for she had never seen one before; but the Prince spoke to her so kindly, and told her at once that his heart had been so touched by her singing, that he felt he should know no peace of mind till he had seen her.

Who acts: man, witch, Prince, singing · What happens: frighten, come in, not see, speak, tell, touch · To what, where: Rapunzel, one, witch, heart, peace, mind · Speech: someone speaks here
