The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 6, sentence 86

Naisi, meantime, and Deirdré, fixed, attent, Their eyes in stillness on the ivory board, And silent o’er their game the brothers bent; But Fergus’ sons stood up with hand on sword, Forth from the casement gazing; and the red Burned on their brows: then Deirdré, careless, said,

Who acts: brothers, Naisi, casement, red · What happens: fix, bend, stand up, gaze, burn, say · To what, where: Deirdré, game, sword, red, brows · Speech: someone speaks here
