Tanglewood Tales, The Minotaur., part 2, sentence 24

She was more wicked at that moment than ever she had been before; for (and it makes me tremble to tell you of it) she did her worst to turn all this unspeakable love with which Theseus was agitated to his own ruin and destruction.

Who acts: cunning, mind, me, wicked, Theseus · What happens: be, make, tremble, tell, do, turn · To what, where: you, worst, unspeakable love, Theseus · Speech: someone speaks here
