Celtic Fairy Tales, A Legend of Knockmany, sentence 119

Cucullin, seeing what he had seen, was of the same opinion himself; his knees knocked together with the terror of Fin's return, and he accordingly hastened to bid Oonagh farewell, and to assure her, that from that day out, he never wished to hear of, much less to see, her husband. "

Who acts: Cucullin, knees, Fin · What happens: see, be, knock together, hasten, bid, assure · To what, where: Oonagh, that, skirl · Speech: someone speaks here
