The Green Fairy Book, The Three Musicians, sentence 61

I have watched over the Princess carefully all these years and saw that no stranger came near her, but all my magic power lay in my beard, and now that you have taken it away I am helpless, and can no longer hold the beautiful Princess in her enchanted sleep, but am forced to reveal my treasured secret to you.

Who acts: I, stranger, magic power, you, child · What happens: watch, see, come, lie, take away, be · To what, where: beard, power, beautiful Princess, enchanted sleep, treasured secret, you · Speech: someone speaks here
