The Blue Fairy Book, The Forty Thieves, sentence 101

Any other slave but Morgiana, on finding a man in the jar instead of the oil she wanted, would have screamed and made a noise; but she, knowing the danger her master was in, bethought herself of a plan, and answered quietly: “Not yet, but presently.”

Who acts: Morgiana, master · What happens: find, want, scream, make, know, be · To what, where: man, jar, oil, other slave, noise, danger
