Celtic Fairy Tales, The Lad With the Goat-skin, sentence 9

Tom made no bones about letting him off; and as soon as he got the club in his hands, he sat down on the bresna, and gave it a tap with the kippeen, and says, "Faggot, I had great trouble gathering you, and run the risk of my life for you, the least you can do is to carry me home."

Who acts: Tom, I, great trouble, you · What happens: make, let off, get, sit down, give, say · To what, where: bones, Tom, club, hands, bresna, Faggot · Speech: someone speaks here
