Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter II, sentence 22

“The chance is here,” Iaran echoed, with a smile that was very like her sister’s, only that it was worse, and the wen that grew on her nose joggled to and fro and did not get its balance again for a long time.

Who acts: chance, Iaran, that, wen · What happens: be, echo, grow, joggle, fro, not get · To what, where: nose, balance · Speech: someone speaks here
