More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 16, sentence 3

So she clomb and she clomb and she clomb, but ne'er a step higher did she get: the light was before her and around her, and the water behind her, and the more she struggled the more she was forced down into the dark and the cold, and the more she clomb the deeper she fell.

Who acts: she clomb, light, t, water · What happens: get, be, struggle, force down, clomb, fall · To what, where: t, dark
