The Green Fairy Book, The Enchanted Watch, sentence 132

Imagine his feelings when he arrived and was presented at once to twelve of the loveliest creatures in the world, and his embarrassment was heightened by the fact that they all liked him as much as he liked each one of them, so that things came to such a pass that he was never happy a single instant without them.

Who acts: you, Prince, fact, feelings, things · What happens: imagine, arrive, present, heighten, like, come · To what, where: feelings, twelve, embarrassment, Prince, one, pass
