Celtic Fairy Tales, The Story of Deirdre, sentence 98

Naois thought that it would not be well for him to remain in Erin on account of the way in which Connachar, King of Ulster, his uncle's son, had gone against him because of the woman, though he had not married her; and he turned back to Alba, that is, Scotland.

Who acts: Naois, colour, Connachar, that · What happens: think, not be, remain, go, not marry, turn back · To what, where: Erin, way, pace, Alba · Speech: someone speaks here
