Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 1, sentence 98

The king gave her a year's grace, and when that year was up he gave her another year's grace, and then another; but a week or a day he would not give her longer, and she is eighteen years old to-night, and it's time for her to marry; but, indeed," says he, and he crooked his mouth in an ugly way--"indeed, it's no king's son she'll marry, if I can help it."

Who acts: king, Musha, grace, I · What happens: give, be, not give, marry, say, crook · To what, where: grace, Musha, time, king, mouth, ugly way · Speech: someone speaks here
