Celtic Fairy Tales, The Horned Women, sentence 32

Then the witches rushed through the air with great cries, and fled back to Slievenamon, uttering strange curses on the Spirit of the Well, who had wished their ruin; but the woman and the house were left in peace, and a mantle dropped by one of the witches in her flight was kept hung up by the mistress in memory of that night; and this mantle was kept by the same family from generation to generation for five hundred years after.

Who acts: witches, strange curses, mantle, same family, curses · What happens: rush, flee back, utter, wish, leave, drop · To what, where: witches, air, Slievenamon, strange curses, Spirit, ruin
