The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 20, sentence 72

Then, putting a glass of wine into my wife's hand, she will say to her, "There, present that to him yourself, he cannot have the cruelty to reject anything offered by so beautiful a hand," and my wife will take it and offer it to me tremblingly with tears in her eyes, but I shall look in the other direction.

Who acts: mother, lord, wife, I · What happens: put, say, not have, reject, offer, take · To what, where: glass, hand, wife, present, lord, anything · Speech: someone speaks here
