Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Old House, sentence 67

Trateratra!” and the swords and armor on the knights' portraits rattled, and the silk gowns rustled; the hog's leather spoke, and the old chairs had the gout in their legs and rheumatism in their backs: Ugh! it was exactly like the first time, for over there one day and hour was just like another.

Who acts: silk, leather, old chairs, knights · What happens: rattle, gown, rustle, speak, have, be · To what, where: portraits, Trateratra, gout, legs · Speech: someone speaks here
