Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter IV, sentence 4

Sundered from her belongings, no woman is tranquil, her heart is not truly at ease, however her mind may function, so that under the broad sky or in the house of another she is not the competent, precise individual which she becomes when she sees again her household in order and her domestic requirements at her hand.

Who acts: woman, heart, mind, light, competent precise individual · What happens: sunder, be, not be, function, become, see · To what, where: ease, competent precise individual, household, order
