The Violet Fairy Book, The Child Who Came From an Egg, sentence 42

The guests were coming thick and fast, when suddenly there drove up a splendid coach drawn by six cream-coloured horses, and out of it stepped a young lady dressed in garments that shone like the sun. Her face could not be seen, for a veil covered her head, but as she came up to the place where the queen was standing with the babies she drew the veil aside, and everyone was dazzled with her beauty.

Who acts: guests, young lady, veil, queen · What happens: come, be, drive up, draw, step, dress · To what, where: splendid coach, young lady, coach, garments, face, head
