Get group of consecutive uppercase words using gawk

Hi

I'd like to extract, from a text file, the strings starting with "The Thing" and only composed of words with a capital first letter and apostrophes, like for example:
"The Thing I Only" from "those are the The Thing I Only go for whatever."
or
"The Thing That Are Like Men's Eyewear" from "those are The Thing That Are Like Men's Eyewear even if bla bla. "

I am trying this but without success!
Code:
gawk '{match($0,/The Thing [A-Z][^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]/,arr); print arr[0]}' test

I get the first uppercase word after "The Thing" but I don't know how to get the others.

Thanks
