The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 24

So Paddy Dorman trusted him with the bottle--more fool was he; and, to his cost, he found that though Maurice’s mouth might not hold more than the glass at one time, yet, owing to the hole in his throat, it took many a filling.

Who acts: Paddy, Maurice, mouth, it · What happens: trust, be, find, not hold, owe, take · To what, where: Maurice, more, hole, many filling · Speech: someone speaks here
