The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 64

‘But of a truth, Kai, no man ever confessed an adventure so much to his own dishonour, and strange indeed it seems that none other man have I ever met that knew of the black man, and the knight and the shower.’

Who acts: man, it, none man, I, horse · What happens: confess, seem, have, meet, know, dishonour · To what, where: adventure, own dishonour
