The Yellow Fairy Book, The Glass Mountain(16), part 3, sentence 30

Impatient at not being recognised, Fairer-than-a-Fairy now drew out her third present, and on opening the crystal scent-bottle a little syren flew out, who silenced the violins and then sang close to the Prince’s ear the story of all his lady love had suffered in her search for him.

Who acts: Fairer, Prince, Fairy · What happens: not recognise, draw out, open, fly out, silence, sing · To what, where: third present, crystal scent bottle, violins, story, search
