The Green Fairy Book, The Three Musicians, sentence 31

He was just as hospitably entertained at first, and then just as cruelly beaten and belaboured, so that next morning he too lay in his bed like a wounded hare, assuring his friends that the task of getting into the haunted castle was no enviable one.

Who acts: fiddler, task · What happens: be, beat, belabour, lie, assure, get · To what, where: bed, friends, haunted castle, enviable one
