The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 3, sentence 10

The Fairy of the Desert had by her enchantments raised such a terrible storm that the boldest pilot would not venture out in it, so she was not afraid of her prisoner’s being able to escape; and he found it some relief to think sadly over his terrible situation without being interrupted by his cruel captor.

Who acts: Fairy, enchantments, boldest pilot, pilot, cruel captor · What happens: have, raise, not venture out, not be, be, escape · To what, where: terrible storm, storm, terrible situation
