More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 2, sentence 69

"Then if ye did it your own self," cried the elf-mother shrilly, "what's the use o' making all this fash about it?"--and with that she stretched out a long thin arm, and caught the creature by its ear, and, shaking it roughly, pulled it after her, out of sight up the chimney.

Who acts: ye, elf mother, use, this, mother · What happens: do, cry, be, make, fash, stretch out · To what, where: child, use, long thin arm, creature, sight · Speech: someone speaks here
