The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 16, sentence 56

All in vain did I shriek aloud with rage and despair, reproaching myself for the love of gain and adventure which had brought me to such a pass, but at length, growing calmer, I took up my bread and water, and wrapping my face in my mantle I groped my way towards the end of the cavern, where the air was fresher.

Who acts: All, length, I, air · What happens: shriek, reproach, bring, grow, take up, wrap · To what, where: myself, adventure, bread, length, face, way
