The Green Fairy Book, The Three Musicians, sentence 16

Notwithstanding, the youth felt his spirits return to him when he entered the lower regions of the castle, for in the kitchen the most tempting and delicious food was spread out, the cellars were full of the most costly wine, and the store-room crammed with pots of every sort of jam you can imagine.

Who acts: youth, spirits, spirit, cellars, store room, you · What happens: notwithstand, feel, return, enter, spread out, be · To what, where: youth, lower regions, tempting, jam
