An hour after, the two friends stood before the treasurer of the Prince, for the finder could not make up his mind to undertake the journey to Augsburg until he had provided for his wife and children, and asked him if he would advance a hundred thousand Thaler on the jewel, till they could sell it to Fugger.

Who acts: hour, finder, mind, friends · What happens: stand, not make up, not undertake, provide, ask, advance · To what, where: treasurer, mind, journey, finder, thousand Thaler, jewel
