Tanglewood Tales, The Dragon's Teeth., part 2, sentence 50

In the middle of it was seen a magnificent palace of colored marble, on the balcony of which, every noontide, appeared Cilix, in a long purple robe, and with a jeweled crown upon his head; for the inhabitants, when they found out that he was a king's son, had considered him the fittest of all men to be a king himself.

Who acts: noontide, inhabitants · What happens: see, color, appear, jewel, find out, be · To what, where: magnificent palace, middle, Cilix, long purple robe, son, king
