The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 39, sentence 71

Their answer was that madness is of so many different kinds that it was impossible to give an opinion on the case without seeing the princess, so the Sultan gave orders that they were to be introduced into her chamber, one by one, every man according to his rank.

Who acts: answer, Sultan, man, doctors · What happens: be, give, see, introduce, accord, answer · To what, where: opinion, case, princess, orders, doctors, chamber
