Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter I, sentence 9

The camp was chosen, and each squadron and company of the host were lodged into an appropriate place, so there was no overcrowding and no halt or interruption of the march; for where a company halted that was its place of rest, and in that place it hindered no other company, and was at its own ease.

Who acts: company, that, camp · What happens: choose, lodge, be, overcrowd, halt, hinder · To what, where: camp, squadron, appropriate place, halt, place, other company
