To his latest hour, nevertheless, King Thasus showed his true-hearted remembrance of Europa, by ordering that a fire should always be kept burning in his palace, and a bath steaming hot, and food ready to be served up, and a bed with snow-white sheets, in case the maiden should arrive, and require immediate refreshment.

Who acts: King, fire, bath, maiden · What happens: show, order, keep, burn, steam, serve up · To what, where: true hearted remembrance, fire, palace, bath, case, immediate refreshment
