Andersen's Fairy Tales, The False Collar, sentence 60

My own hair-comb was in love with me, she lost all her teeth from the heart-ache; yes, I have lived to see much of that sort of thing; but I am extremely sorry for the garter--I mean the girdle--that went into the water-tub.

Who acts: own hair comb, widow, I, girdle · What happens: be, lose, live, see, mean, go · To what, where: love, teeth, heart ache, much, girdle, water tub
