Celtic Fairy Tales, The Sprightly Tailor, sentence 21

"Aye, aye: I see that, but I'll sew this!" cried the tailor; and his fingers flew with the needle, and he took such long stitches, that he was just come to the end of the trews, when it was taking up its other leg.

Who acts: tailor, fingers, it · What happens: see, sew, cry, fly, take, come · To what, where: that, this, such long stitches, end, other leg · Speech: someone speaks here
