The Green Fairy Book, The Enchanted Snake, sentence 51

At the end of this time he had fallen in love with a charming Princess, but that when he had shut himself up into a room with her, and had thrown off his snake’s skin, her parents had forced their way into the room and had burnt the skin, whereupon the Prince, changed into the likeness of a dove, had broken a pane of glass in trying to fly out of the window, and had wounded himself so badly that the doctors despaired of his life.

Who acts: fox, Prince, doctors · What happens: fall, charm, shut up, throw off, force, burnt · To what, where: end, fox, room, skin, parents, likeness
