When her father perceived they had this good liking for each other he proposed a match between them, to which both parties cheerfully consented, and the Lord Mayor, Court of Aldermen, Sheriffs, the Company of Stationers, the Royal Academy of Arts, and a number of eminent merchants attended the ceremony, and were elegantly treated at an entertainment made for that purpose.

Who acts: father, Whittington, parties, Lord Mayor · What happens: perceive, have, propose, consent, attend, treat · To what, where: good liking, match, ceremony, entertainment
