More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 3, sentence 59

The creature's eyne got used like to the moonlight, and presently he looked up in Tom's face as bold as ever was; "Tom," says he, "thou 'rt a good lad!" as cool as thou can think, says he, "Tom, thou 'rt a good lad!" and his voice was soft and high and piping like a little bird twittering.

Who acts: eyne, Tom, thou, voice, little bird · What happens: use, look up, be, say, think, pipe · To what, where: eyne · Speech: someone speaks here
