Tanglewood Tales, The Minotaur., part 2, sentence 31

But Medea guessed how the king felt, and would not suffer him to yield to these natural sensibilities; although they were the voice of his deepest heart, telling him as plainly as it could speak, that here was our dear son, and Aethra's son, coming to claim him for a father.

Who acts: Medea, king, brow, heart · What happens: guess, feel, not suffer, yield, be, tell · To what, where: king, voice, dear son · Speech: someone speaks here
