Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter II, sentence 2

Conaran did not like Fionn, and, seeing that the great champion was alone, save for Cona’n and the two hounds Bran and Sceo’lan, he thought the time had come to get Fionn into his power.

Who acts: Conaran, great champion, time · What happens: not like, see, be, save, think, come · To what, where: Fionn, power · Speech: someone speaks here
