Celtic Fairy Tales, The Wooing of Olwen, sentence 26

And he had another peculiarity--so great was the heat of his nature, that, when it rained hardest, whatever he carried remained dry for a handbreadth above and a handbreadth below his hand; and when his companions were coldest, it was to them as fuel with which to light their fire.

Who acts: Kay, that, companions, peculiarity · What happens: have, be, rain, carry, remain, light · To what, where: peculiarity, great heat, hardest, fire
