Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 2, sentence 70

Some of the people said that everything was not as it ought to be, and others, that Guleesh was not like the same man that was in it before, and that it was a great story, how he was drawing every day to the priest's house, and that the priest had a wish and a respect for him, a thing they could not clear up at all.

Who acts: Some, Guleesh, that, business, priest, house · What happens: say, be, not be, draw, have, not clear up · To what, where: others, business, great story, house, wish, thing · Speech: someone speaks here
