The Red Fairy Book, The Master Thief, sentence 252

When day came the Master Thief came too, and wanted to have the Governor’s daughter as had been promised, and the Governor dared do no otherwise than give her to him, and much money besides, for he feared that if he did not the Master Thief might steal the very eyes out of his head, and that he himself would be ill spoken of by all men.

Who acts: day, Master Thief, Governor, much money · What happens: come, want, have, promise, dare, give · To what, where: daughter, no, heaven, eyes, head · Speech: someone speaks here
