The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 25, sentence 70

Sorry though the king felt at the idea of parting with his daughter, he felt her request to be so reasonable that he could not refuse it, and made but one condition, which was that she should only spend one year at the court of King Schahzaman, suggesting that in future the young couple should visit their respective parents alternately.

Who acts: king, one condition, young couple, Majesty · What happens: feel, be, not refuse, make, suggest, visit · To what, where: idea, request, one condition, court, respective parents, future · Speech: someone speaks here
