Celtic Fairy Tales, Fair, Brown, and Trembling, sentence 18

When Trembling came to the door of the church there was no one inside who could get a glimpse of her but was striving to know who she was; and when they saw her hurrying away at the end of Mass, they ran out to overtake her.

Who acts: one, mare, people · What happens: tremble, come, be, get, strive, know · To what, where: door, glimpse, mare, end · Speech: someone speaks here
