The Violet Fairy Book, The Grateful Prince, part 1, sentence 29

But a shadow hung over him which really poisoned most of his pleasure, and that was the thought of the poor innocent girl who had suffered in his stead, for his foster father had told him in secret, that he was the king’s son.

Who acts: shadow, that, poor innocent girl, foster father, boy · What happens: hang, poison, be, suffer, tell, please · To what, where: most, thought, stead, boy, secret, son · Speech: someone speaks here
