The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 19, sentence 109

Stooping to examine him, and finding him stone dead, the purveyor supposed that the man had died from the blow he had received; but of course this was a mistake, as you will see from my account, and I only am the murderer; and although I am innocent of any wish to commit a crime, I must suffer for it all the same, or else have the blood of two Musselmans on my conscience.

Who acts: man, purveyor, this, you, I, my · What happens: stoop, examine, find, suppose, die, receive · To what, where: purveyor, blow, account, murderer, crime, blood
