The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 7, sentence 29

The Caliph, who was naturally very impatient, suffered far more than either of the others at feeling that his life was at the mercy of a justly offended lady, but when he heard her question he began to breathe more freely, for he was convinced that she had only to learn his name and rank for all danger to be over.

Who acts: Caliph, others, life, man, question, vizir · What happens: be, suffer, feel, hear, begin, breathe · To what, where: more, mercy, question, name
