Celtic Fairy Tales, The Field of Boliauns, sentence 4

The noise stopped; but as Tom looked sharply through the bushes, what should he see in a nook of the hedge but a brown pitcher, that might hold about a gallon and a half of liquor; and by-and-by a little wee teeny tiny bit of an old man, with a little _motty_ of a cocked hat stuck upon the top of his head, a deeshy daushy leather apron hanging before him, pulled out a little wooden stool, and stood up upon it, and dipped a little piggin into the pitcher, and took out the full of it, and put it beside the stool, and then sat down under the pitcher, and began to work at putting a heel-piece on a bit of a brogue just fit for himself. "

Who acts: noise, Tom, brown pitcher, deeshy daushy leather apron · What happens: stop, look, see, hold, stick, hang · To what, where: bushes, nook, cocked hat, top, little wooden stool, noise
