Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 115

She was very beautiful; a more clever, or a more lovely countenance he could not fancy to himself; and she no longer appeared of ice as before, when she sat outside the window, and beckoned to him; in his eyes she was perfect, he did not fear her at all, and told her that he could calculate in his head and with fractions, even; that he knew the number of square miles there were in the different countries, and how many inhabitants they contained; and she smiled while he spoke.

Who acts: queen, lovely countenance, eyes, countenance, many inhabitants · What happens: be, not fancy, appear, sit, beckon, not fear · To what, where: countenance, window, queen, all, head, number · Speech: someone speaks here
