Celtic Fairy Tales, King O'toole and His Goose, sentence 53

"Oh, queen of heaven!" says the king, making the sign of the cross between his eyes, and falling down on his knees before the saint; "is it the great Saint Kavin," says he, "that I've been discoursing all this time without knowing it," says he, "all as one as if he was a lump of a _gossoon_?--and so you're a saint?" says the king.

Who acts: queen, sign, king, you, saint · What happens: say, make, fall down, be, discourse, know · To what, where: king, sign, knees, great Saint, lump, saint · Speech: someone speaks here
