The Green Fairy Book, The Biter Bit, part 5, sentence 29

Sunk deep in thought over the fickleness of fortune that had granted him two of his wishes and now seemed about to deny him the last and best, the Prince hardly noticed the absurd equipage, and still less did he feel inclined to laugh at its comic appearance.

Who acts: Prince · What happens: sink, grant, seem, deny, notice, feel · To what, where: thought, fickleness, Prince, absurd equipage, comic appearance
