The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 24, sentence 55

The queen was much surprised by these words, but when she declared that she knew nothing whatever of the matter the princess lost all respect, and answered that if she were not allowed to marry as she wished she should kill herself, and it was in vain that the queen tried to pacify her and bring her to reason.

Who acts: words, queen, princess, respect · What happens: surprise, declare, know, lose, answer, not allow · To what, where: queen, nothing, whatever, Princess, reason · Speech: someone speaks here
