The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Upon Earth"], sentence 59

It was not that the faggot-maker was not, perhaps, more vexed than his wife, but that she teized him, and that he was of the humour of a great many others, who love wives who speak right, but think those very importunate who are always in the right.

Who acts: tongue, woman, lord, great many others, wives · What happens: not be, teiz, be, love, speak, think · To what, where: lord, wives, importunate right · Speech: someone speaks here
