The Violet Fairy Book, The Boys With the Golden Stars, sentence 132

And when the tale was finished there were no more cushions under the empress, but the moment that they lifted their caps, and showed their golden hair and the golden stars, the eyes of the emperor and of all his guests were bent on them, and they could hardly bear the power of so many glances.

Who acts: more cushions, cushions · What happens: finish, be, lift, show, bend, bear · To what, where: tale, caps, golden hair, moment, power
