Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 4, sentence 23

The young Prince was much delighted at hearing this, and went immediately to inform the Malee's wife; after consultation with whom he determined that it would be more safe for him to retain his disguise, and trust to the chance of a favourable opportunity for establishing some communication with his mother, if it were indeed she.

Who acts: young Prince, Prince, it, favourable opportunity, Malee · What happens: be, hear, go, inform, determine, retain · To what, where: this, wife, disguise, communication
