Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter IV, sentence 24
Yet the thought did come into her head as she stretched in the warm gloom that Crimthann the son of Ae must be now attending her at Cluain da chaillech, and she thought of that young man as of something wonderful and very ridiculous, and the fact that he was waiting for her troubled her no more than if a sheep had been waiting for her or a roadside bush.
Who acts: thought, warm gloom, fact, sheep · What happens: come, stretch, be, think, wait, trouble · To what, where: head, warm gloom, Cluain chaillech, fact, thought
