Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 3, sentence 11

An equal number of attendants brought great flagons of wine, of various kinds, some of which sparkled as it was poured out, and went bubbling down the throat; while, of other sorts, the purple liquor was so clear that you could see the wrought figures at the bottom of the goblet.

Who acts: equal number, other sorts, you · What happens: bring, sparkle, pour out, go, bubble, be · To what, where: great flagons, some, number, throat, wrought figures, bottom
