Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Basket Maker., sentence 8

There was but one way to a remedy, and he took it: for going to the capital, with the marks of his hard usage upon him, he threw himself at the feet of the king, and procured a citation for his oppressor’s appearance; who, confessing the charge, proceeded to justify his behaviour by the poor man’s unmindfulness of the submission due from the vulgar to gentlemen of rank and distinction.

Who acts: one way, way, citation · What happens: be, take, go, throw, procure, confess · To what, where: remedy, capital, way, feet, citation, charge
