Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Old House, sentence 7

On the other side of the street were also new and neat houses, and they thought just as the others did; but at the window opposite the old house there sat a little boy with fresh rosy cheeks and bright beaming eyes: he certainly liked the old house best, and that both in sunshine and moonshine.

Who acts: railings, others, boy, both · What happens: be, think, do, sit, like, moonshine · To what, where: other side, little boy, window, old house · Speech: someone speaks here
