Celtic Fairy Tales, Jack and His Comrades, sentence 77

"Oh, tattheration to you all, you unfeeling vagabones!" says he, when he recovered his breath; and he staggered and spun round and round till he reeled into the stable, back foremost, but the ass received him with a kick on the broadest part of his small clothes, and laid him comfortably on the dunghill.

Who acts: you, tattheration, boy, ass · What happens: unfeel, say, recover, stagger, spin, reel · To what, where: vagabones, breath, stable, boy, broadest part, dunghill · Speech: someone speaks here
