The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 39, sentence 30

The doorkeeper knew the Indian by sight, and was of course aware that nearly three months before he had been thrown into prison by the Sultan; and seeing him at liberty, the man took for granted that he was speaking the truth, and made no difficulty about leading him before the Princess of Bengal; while on her side, hearing that he had come from the prince, the lady gladly consented to do what he wished.

Who acts: doorkeeper, Sultan, man, difficulty · What happens: know, be, throw, see, take, grant · To what, where: Indian, doorkeeper, prison, Sultan, liberty, truth · Speech: someone speaks here
