The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 75

His foster-brother, who wanted him to keep this resolution, invited three young courtiers, as wicked as himself to sup with the Prince, and they persuaded him to drink a great deal of wine, and continued to excite his anger against Celia by telling him that she had laughed at his love for her; until at last, in quite a furious rage, he rushed off to find her, declaring that if she still refused to marry him she should be sold as a slave the very next day.

Who acts: foster brother, brother, courtiers, fear · What happens: want, keep, invite, sup, persuade, drink · To what, where: brother, resolution, three young courtiers, great deal, anger, love · Speech: someone speaks here
