Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 4, sentence 18

The little robber maiden looked at her with a serious air, nodded her head slightly, and said, “They shall not kill you, even if I am angry with you: then I will do it myself”; and she dried Gerda's eyes, and put both her hands in the handsome muff, which was so soft and warm.

Who acts: little robber maiden, eyes, I, maiden, handsome muff · What happens: look, nod, say, not kill, be, do · To what, where: head, you, eyes, hands, handsome muff · Speech: someone speaks here
