The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 4, sentence 100

But, there, neither to leeward, nor to windward, nor in the four brown boundaries of the sea, is there any man that can hold battle against him, save only Ian, the soldier's son, and he is now but sixteen years old, and how shall he stand against the giant?'

Who acts: leeward, man, Son · What happens: be, hold, save, stand · To what, where: battle, Ian
