Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Red Shoes, sentence 28

And she thought only of them as the clergyman laid his hand upon her head, and spoke of the holy baptism, of the covenant with God, and how she should be now a matured Christian; and the organ pealed so solemnly; the sweet children's voices sang, and the old music-directors sang, but Karen only thought of her red shoes.

Who acts: lady, clergyman, organ, voices, old music directors, Karen · What happens: think, lay, speak, mature, peal, sing · To what, where: hand, head, lady · Speech: someone speaks here
