The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 34, sentence 85

One night I was lying with my eyes closed, and to, all appearance sound asleep, when Amina arose softly, and dressed herself without making the slightest sound.

Who acts: I, Amina · What happens: lie, close, sound, arise, dress, make · To what, where: eyes, Amina, slightest sound
