Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 1, sentence 80

There was a great feast going on there, and there was not a nobleman or a gentleman in the kingdom but was gathered there, dressed in silk and satin, and gold and silver, and the night was as bright as the day with all the lamps and candles that were lit, and Guleesh had to shut his two eyes at the brightness.

Who acts: great feast, night, Guleesh · What happens: be, go, not be, gather, dress, lit · To what, where: nobleman, silk, candles, two eyes, brightness
