Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 3, sentence 85

Wherever he wandered --alone in the heart of the wild Huron forests, Or cruising the rivers unknown to the land of the Crees or Dakotas-- His heart lingered still on the Rhone, 'mid the mulberry-trees and the vineyards, Fast-fettered and bound by the zone that girdled the robes of his darling.

Who acts: Rhone, zone · What happens: wander, cruise, linger, mi, fetter, bind · To what, where: heart, rivers, land, Rhone, mulberry trees, robes
