The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 25, sentence 40

Having finished this note the prince carefully enclosed the ring in it without letting the eunuch see it, and gave him the letter, saying:

Who acts: Having, eunuch · What happens: have, finish, enclose, let, see, give · To what, where: finished note, ring, eunuch, letter, Prince · Speech: someone speaks here
