Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 2, sentence 93

Each of the strangers was invited to sit down; and there they were, two and twenty storm-beaten mariners, in worn and tattered garb, sitting on two and twenty cushioned and canopied thrones, so rich and gorgeous that the proudest monarch had nothing more splendid in his stateliest hall.

Who acts: Each, strangers, worn tattered garb, proudest monarch · What happens: invite, sit down, be, beat, tatter, sit · To what, where: Each, two, nothing
