Tanglewood Tales, The Pomegranate Seeds., part 3, sentence 41

Accordingly, they went along in quest of Phoebus, both of them sighing grievously, and Hecate, to say the truth, making a great deal worse lamentation than Ceres; for all the pleasure she had, you know, lay in being miserable, and therefore she made the most of it.

Who acts: eyes, both, Hecate, you, Phoebus · What happens: go along, sigh, say, make, have, know · To what, where: quest, truth, great deal, pleasure, most · Speech: someone speaks here
