Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:

“O haste thee, haste!” the lady cries,
“Though tempests round us gather;
I’ll meet the raging of the skies,
But not an angry father.”

Paraphrase: Lord Ullin’s daughter asks the boatman to make haste. Tempests are gathering all around them. She tells him that she is prepared to face the fury of the stormy sky but not ready to face the fury of an angry father.

(a) Who is the lady?

(b) Who were sitting in the boat?

(c) What and why was the lady ready to face at that time?
