The Red Fairy Book, Farmer Weatherbeard, sentence 111

‘If a man should come who wants to buy me,’ said Jack, ‘you are to tell him that you want two hundred dollars, for that he will give, and treat you besides; but whatsoever you drink, and whatsoever you do, don’t forget to take the halter off me, or you will never see me more.’

Who acts: man, Jack, you · What happens: come, want, buy, say, be, give · To what, where: me, Jack, hundred dollars, you, whatsoever, halter · Speech: someone speaks here
