The murmur and hum of the multitude, in their surprise at the spectacle of Jason with his one bare foot, grew so loud that it disturbed the ceremonies; and the king, holding the great knife with which he was just going to cut the bull's throat, turned angrily about, and fixed his eyes on Jason.

Who acts: murmur, notice, Jason, multitude · What happens: grow, disturb, hold, go, cut, turn · To what, where: king, ceremonies, great knife, throat, eyes, Jason
