She twirled her spindle to the right, and drew out threads of iron; she twirled it to the left, and wires of copper, small but exceeding strong, ran through her fingers; she twirled it upward, downward, and a thousand coils of twisted metal soon lay in the moonlight beside her.

Who acts: doom, thousand coils · What happens: twirl, draw out, exceed, run, lie · To what, where: spindle, right, threads, thread, left, fingers
