Celtic Fairy Tales, King O'toole and His Goose, sentence 37

With that, my dear, he took up the goose by the two wings--"Criss o' my cross an you," says he, markin' her to grace with the blessed sign at the same minute--and throwing her up in the air, "whew," says he, jist givin' her a blast to help her; and with that, my jewel, she took to her heels, flyin' like one o' the eagles themselves, and cutting as many capers as a swallow before a shower of rain.

Who acts: Kavin, throwing, goose · What happens: take up, say, grace, throw up, help, take · To what, where: goose, Kavin, air, flyin, heels, many capers · Speech: someone speaks here
