Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Omar., sentence 2
Omar regarded him with attention, and perceived that his looks were wild and haggard, and that his body was feeble and emaciated: the man also seemed to gaze stedfastly on Omar; but such was the abstraction of his mind, that his eye did not immediately take cognizance of its object.
Who acts: Omar, looks, body, man, eye · What happens: regard, perceive, be, emaciate, seem, gaze · To what, where: man, such abstraction, cognizance, object
