Tanglewood Tales, The Pygmies., part 1, sentence 81

But I have now said enough to let you see what a gallant little people these were, and how happily they and their forefathers, for nobody knows how many generations, had lived with the immeasurable Giant Antaeus.

Who acts: I, you, nobody, people · What happens: say, let, see, know, live · To what, where: you, gallant little people, many generations · Speech: someone speaks here
