Tanglewood Tales, The Wayside. Introductory., sentence 40

Merely from the title of the stories I saw at once that the subjects were not less rich than those of the former volume; nor did I at all doubt that Mr. Bright's audacity (so far as that endowment might avail) had enabled him to take full advantage of whatever capabilities they offered.

Who acts: I, subjects, endowment, audacity, capabilities · What happens: see, be, do, avail, enable, take · To what, where: title, endowment, doubt, full advantage, stories
