Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 2, sentence 66

Yet Eurylochus fancied that one of them had sea-green hair, and that the close-fitting bodice of a second looked like the bark of a tree, and that both the others had something odd in their aspect, although he could not quite determine what it was, in the little while that he had to examine them.

Who acts: Eurylochus, one, others · What happens: fancy, have, look, not determine, examine · To what, where: green hair, fitting bodice, something, aspect, gestures
