Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shadow, sentence 43

Yes! if anyone had paid particular attention to it, they would have seen, quite distinctly, that the shadow went in through the half-open balcony-door of their opposite neighbor, just as the stranger went into his own room, and let the long curtain fall down after him.

Who acts: doors, shadow, stranger, you, long curtain · What happens: pay, see, go in, go, let, fall down · To what, where: anyone, attention, open balcony door, own room, long curtain
