The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 70
But though the young man was pleasant and handsome, the princess thought him rather womanish in some ways, and displayed her opinion so openly as to draw upon herself and Aveline the anger of the fairy, who declared that Minon-Minette should never know happiness till she had found a bridge without an arch and a bird without feathers.
Who acts: young man, princess, fairy, Minon · What happens: be, think, display, draw, declare, not know · To what, where: Girouette, opinion, anger, happiness, bridge · Speech: someone speaks here
