Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter III, sentence 8

One minute they heard the clashing and bashing of the hailstones, the howling of the venomous wind, the screams of women and the uproar of the crowd on the Hill of Uisneach, and the next minute they heard nothing more of those sounds and saw nothing more of these sights, for they had been permitted to go at one step out of the world of men and into the world of Faery.

Who acts: One minute, next minute, venomous wind, women · What happens: hear, see, permit, go, howl, scream · To what, where: clashing, nothing, men, world
