The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 51

It is not every lady, may be, that would be after making such an offer to a blind piper; therefore ‘twas only right in him to give her as good as she gave herself, so says Maurice:

Who acts: drink, that, Maurice, fish · What happens: not be, be, give, say · To what, where: lady, fish, Maurice · Speech: someone speaks here
