Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter IV, sentence 3

She was glad also of a respite which would enable her to settle into her home and draw about her the composure which women feel when they are surrounded by the walls of their houses, and can see about them the possessions which, by the fact of ownership, have become almost a part of their personality.

Who acts: light, women, walls, fact · What happens: be, enable, settle, draw, feel, surround · To what, where: light, home, composure, women, possessions, part
