Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter III, sentence 2

Becfola had pains in her legs from the way she had wrapped them about the branch, but there was no part of her that did not ache, for a lady does not sit with any ease upon a tree.

Who acts: Becfola, that, lady · What happens: have, wrap, be, not ache, not sit · To what, where: pains, legs, part, tree
