The Violet Fairy Book, The Story of a Gazelle, sentence 66

The sultan, on hearing what had happened to his future son-in-law, turned his horse and rode to the palace, and bade a groom to harness the best horse in the stable and order a woman slave to bring a bag of clothes, such as a man might want, out of the chest; and he chose out a tunic and a turban and a sash for the waist, and fetched himself a gold-hilted sword, and a dagger and a pair of sandals, and a stick of sweet-smelling wood.

Who acts: sultan, man · What happens: hear, happen, turn, harness, order, bring · To what, where: horse, palace, best horse, stable, woman slave, bag · Speech: someone speaks here
