Legends of the Northwest, In the Measure of Hiawatha, part 1, sentence 63

But the Sea-Gull murmured never, Not a word she spoke in anger, Went about her work as ever, Tanned the skins of bear and beaver, Tanned the hides of moose and red deer, Gathered fagots for the lodge-fire, Gathered rushes from the marches; Deftly into mats she wove them; Kept the lodge as bright as ever.

Who acts: Sea Gull, rabbit · What happens: not murmur, speak, go, tan, gather, weave · To what, where: word, anger, skins, hides, rushes, marches · Speech: someone speaks here
