Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 5, sentence 78

Fischersche was, according to some, a wise, good old woman, according to others a witch, who lived in a hut a little out of the village, never leaving it, alone and without friends, avoiding men and shunned by them in return--but only till they got into some trouble; when illness or some accident had befallen them, then they sought out old Fischersche, related their trouble, and found ever help and counsel, or herbs and healing draughts, before which every sickness fled.

Who acts: Fischersche, witch, friends, illness, herbs · What happens: accord, be, live, not leave, avoid, shun · To what, where: wise good old woman, hut, village, men, return, trouble · Speech: someone speaks here
