She put on a girdle and head-dress of diamonds, and seeing in a glass that she looked more beautiful than ever, received the magician, saying to his great amazement: "I have made up my mind that Aladdin is dead, and that all my tears will not bring him back to me, so I am resolved to mourn no more, and have therefore invited you to sup with me; but I am tired of the wines of China, and would fain taste those of Africa."
Who acts: wretch, glass, seeing, Aladdin, tears, great amazement · What happens: put, see, look, receive, say, make up · To what, where: those, girdle, glass, magician, great amazement, mind · Speech: someone speaks here
