The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 32

There was his mother, too, moving her old bones as light as the youngest girl of them all; but her dancing, no, nor the dancing of all the rest, is not worthy the speaking about to the work that was going on down upon the strand.

Who acts: mother, dancing, work · What happens: be, move, not be, speak, go on, dance · To what, where: old bones, strand, rest · Speech: someone speaks here
