Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Ghost Stories., part 2, sentence 104

But I will not dwell any longer on the story of the Fiddler, as I propose to give some account in the next chapter of several other tales of the same class, in most of which such descriptions of evil spirits are introduced as have manifestly been altered into what their narrators considered to be in accordance with Christian teaching.

Who acts: I, narrators, same class · What happens: not dwell, propose, give, introduce, have, alter · To what, where: story, account, next chapter, most, accordance, evil spirits · Speech: someone speaks here
