The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 8, sentence 74

Emboldened by her beauty and gentleness, I ventured to reply, "Before, madam, I answer your question, allow me to say how grateful I am for this meeting, which is not only a consolation to me in my own heavy sorrow, but may perhaps enable me to render your lot happier," and then I told her who I was, and how I had come there.

Who acts: I, meeting, me, your, my · What happens: embolden, venture, reply, answer, allow, say · To what, where: question, me, consolation, own heavy sorrow, madam · Speech: someone speaks here
