Tanglewood Tales, The Dragon's Teeth., part 3, sentence 95

In the center of it there should be a noble palace, in which Cadmus might dwell, and be their king, with a throne, a crown, a sceptre, a purple robe, and everything else that a king ought to have; for in him there was the royal blood, and the royal heart, and the head that knew how to rule.

Who acts: you, Cadmus, everything, head · What happens: be, dwell, have, know, rule · To what, where: noble palace, center, king, royal blood
