The Green Fairy Book, Prince Narcissus and the Princess Potentilla, sentence 37

Down he came straightway and alighted at her feet, and one look at her charming blue eyes and smiling lips quite decided him that he must appear to her at once, though he was rather annoyed to remember that he had on only his second-best cloak.

Who acts: Prince, one look, lips · What happens: come, alight, charm, smile, decide, appear · To what, where: feet, blue eyes, Prince, Princess, second best cloak · Speech: someone speaks here
