Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Obidah., sentence 9

Here Obidah paused for a time, and began to consider whether it were longer safe to forsake the known and common track; but remembering that the heat was now in its greatest violence, and that the plain was dusty and uneven, he resolved to pursue the new path, which he supposed only to make a few meanders, in compliance with the varieties of the ground, and to end at last in the common road.

Who acts: Obidah, it, heat, plain · What happens: pause, begin, consider, be, forsake, know · To what, where: known track, greatest violence, new path, few meanders, last · Speech: someone speaks here
