Legends of the conquest of Spain, Letter of Muza to the Caliph.—second Expedition of Taric El Tuerto., sentence 32

Taric listened to the old beldame with grave attention; and, when she had concluded, he laid bare his shoulder, and lo! there was the mole as it had been described; his right arm, also, was, in verity, found to exceed the other in length, though not to the degree that had been mentioned.

Who acts: Taric, female, mole, verity · What happens: listen, conclude, lay, bear, be, describe · To what, where: right arm, shoulder, mole, verity, other, degree
