Celtic Fairy Tales, A Legend of Knockmany, sentence 96

"Why," said she, "that's Fin's bread--the only bread he ever eats when at home; but, indeed, I forgot to tell you that nobody can eat it but himself, and that child in the cradle there.

Who acts: fury, Oonagh, I, nobody · What happens: say, be, eat, forget, not tell · To what, where: bread, only bread, you, home · Speech: someone speaks here
