The Jade Story Book; Stories from the Orient, Opening, part 13, sentence 30

They represented the danger to be greater, as the prince could not reside far from the capital, for on every visit his attendants were different, their habits new, and their arms clean and bright, as if just come from the maker’s hands; and their horses looked as if they had only been walked out.

Who acts: counsellors, prince, attendants, horses · What happens: represent, be, not reside, come, look, walk out · To what, where: danger, visit, hands, counsellors
