He is a-person-whom-I-sent-to-bring-me-a-kitten;

The latter form seems best, as the interest of the anecdote clearly depends on his stupidity—not on what happened to me. Let us then make m = “he”; x = “persons whom I sent, &c.”; and y = “persons who brought, &c.”
Hence, All m are x;
All m are y. and the required Diagram
is

Let “books” be
Universe; m="exciting”,
x="that suit feverish patients”; y="that
make
one drowsy”.
No m are x; &there4 No y’
are x.
All m’ are y.
i.e. No books suit feverish
patients, except such as make
one drowsy.
