The Green Fairy Book, Prince Featherhead and the Princess Celandine, sentence 86

The Prince sprang to his feet, hardly able to refrain from telling her that she must be blinded by vanity to suppose she resembled the lovely portrait even in the slightest degree; and after gazing at her for an instant with icy surprise, turned and left her without another word, and in a few hours quitted the Leafy Palace altogether.

Who acts: Prince, vanity, Pray · What happens: spring, refrain, tell, blind, suppose, resemble · To what, where: feet, Pray, lovely portrait, slightest degree, Leafy Palace · Speech: someone speaks here
