Celtic Fairy Tales, The Lad With the Goat-skin, sentence 52
A good deal of the people got inside, and shut the doors, the way the hairy fellow wouldn't pin them; but Tom kept playing, and the outsiders kept dancing and shouting, and the wolf kept dancing and roaring with the pain his legs were giving him; and all the time he had his eyes on Redhead, who was shut out along with the rest.
Who acts: good deal, hairy fellow, Tom, outsiders, wolf, legs · What happens: get, shut, not pin, keep, play, dance · To what, where: doors, people, pain, Tom, eyes, Redhead
