Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter I, sentence 28

Fionn sat in the Chief Captain’s seat in the middle of the fort; and facing him, in the place of honour, he placed the mirthful Goll mac Morna; and from these, ranging on either side, the nobles of the Fianna took each the place that fitted his degree and patrimony.

Who acts: Fionn, nobles, place · What happens: sit, face, place, range, take, fit · To what, where: seat, Fionn, mirthful mac Morna, side, each, degree
