The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 42, sentence 68

"Madam," said the dervish, "they are far more beautiful than any description, but you seem ignorant of all the difficulties that stand in your way, or you would hardly have undertaken such an adventure.

Who acts: Madam, descriptions, you, difficulties · What happens: say, be, seem, stand, undertake · To what, where: dervish, ignorant, way, adventure · Speech: someone speaks here
