Celtic Fairy Tales, The Lad With the Goat-skin, sentence 28

So at last one of them was glad enough to show Tom the way to the palace-yard; and there was the king, and the queen, and the princess, in a gallery, looking at all sorts of wrestling, and sword-playing, and long-dances, and mumming, all to please the princess; but not a smile came over her handsome face.

Who acts: gallery, smile · What happens: be, show, look, play, please, not come · To what, where: way, Tom, king, princess, handsome face, wrestling
