The Yellow Fairy Book, Hermod and Hadvor (32), sentence 68

I have therefore let down a rope, by which you will be able to climb up; and as the island is so large that you might not find Hermod’s dwelling-place so easily, I lay down this clew beside you.

Who acts: you, I · What happens: let down, be, climb up, not find, lie down · To what, where: I, dwelling place, clew
