The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 39, sentence 46

‘It will be easy for me to compass this, although thou mayest deem it will not be easy,’ answered Kilweh, thinking of Ossol, under whose feet the highest mountain became straightway a plain, but Yspaddaden paid no heed, and continued:

Who acts: this, thou, feet, Yspaddaden · What happens: be, deem, not be, answer, think, become · To what, where: compass, Kilweh, heed · Speech: someone speaks here
