Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shadow, sentence 214

She told him from what land she came, and he knew that land; he had been there, but then she was not at home; he had peeped in at the window, above and below--he had seen both the one and the other, and so he could answer the princess, and make insinuations, so that she was quite astonished; he must be the wisest man in the whole world!

Who acts: princess, stranger · What happens: tell, come, know, be, not be, peep in · To what, where: stranger, land, home, one, princess, insinuations · Speech: someone speaks here
