The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 100

The strangeness and pleasantness of the sight so delighted the gnome that he never thought of resenting the intrusion of these unexpected guests, who, without saying “by your leave” or “with your leave,” had made themselves so very much at home upon his hills; nor did he wish to interfere with their doings, but left them in quiet possession of their homes, as a good householder leaves in peace the swallows who have built their nests under his eaves.

Who acts: strangeness, Gnome, unexpected guests, good householder, swallows · What happens: delight, not think, resent, say, make, wish · To what, where: gnome, intrusion, home, strangeness, quiet possession, swallows · Speech: someone speaks here
