English Fairy Tales, Fairy Ointment, sentence 22

So he came round to the door with the coal-black horse with eyes of fire, and off they went as fast as before, or perhaps a little faster, till they came to Dame Goody's cottage, where the squinny-eyed old fellow lifted her down and left her, thanking her civilly enough, and paying her more than she had ever been paid before for such service.

Who acts: fellow, eyes, eyed old fellow · What happens: come round, go, come, lift down, leave, thank · To what, where: door, cottage, Dame, more
