Tanglewood Tales, The Minotaur., part 4, sentence 91

He could not bear the thought of living any longer; so, first flinging his crown and sceptre into the sea (useless baubles that they were to him now), King Aegeus merely stooped forward, and fell headlong over the cliff, and was drowned, poor soul, in the waves that foamed at its base!

Who acts: Aegeus, thought, crown, King, waves · What happens: not bear, live, fling, be, stoop, fall · To what, where: thought, crown, sea, useless baubles, poor soul, base
