Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 2, sentence 64

When Guleesh said that he would be very thankful to the priest if he would keep her in his own house, the kind man said he would do that as long as Guleesh pleased, but that he did not know what they ought to do with her, because they had no means of sending her back to her father again.

Who acts: Guleesh, kind man, house · What happens: say, be, keep, do, not know, have · To what, where: priest, own house, that, no, back, father · Speech: someone speaks here
