# The Blue Fairy Book, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, sentence 35

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
The King handed her out of the chariot, and she approved everything he had done, but as she had very great foresight, she thought when the Princess should awake she might not know what to do with herself, being all alone in this old palace; and this was what she did: she touched with her wand everything in the palace (except the King and Queen)--governesses, maids of honor, ladies of the bedchamber, gentlemen, officers, stewards, cooks, undercooks, scullions, guards, with their beefeaters, pages, footmen; she likewise touched all the horses which were in the stables, pads as well as others, the great dogs in the outward court and pretty little Mopsey too, the Princess’s little spaniel, which lay by her on the bed.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** King, Princess, twelve thousand, this, horses · **What happens:** hand, approve, do, have, think, awake · **To what, where:** great dogs, Princess, chariot, everything, great foresight, old palace · **Speech:** someone speaks here
