More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 10, sentence 97

Well, the days passed, and 't was the time for the new moon's coming, and the folk put pennies in their pockets and straws in their caps so as to be ready for her, and looked about, for the Moon was a good friend to the marsh folk, and they were main glad when the dark time was gone, and the paths were safe again, and the Evil Things were driven back by the blessed Light into the darkness and the waterholes.

Who acts: days, t, folk, Moon, folks, dark time · What happens: pass, be, come, put, look, drive back · To what, where: time, pennies, pockets, Evil Things, darkness
