Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Red Shoes, sentence 37

And all the people in the church looked at Karen's red shoes, and all the pictures, and as Karen knelt before the altar, and raised the cup to her lips, she only thought of the red shoes, and they seemed to swim in it; and she forgot to sing her psalm, and she forgot to pray, “Our Father in Heaven!”

Who acts: people, Karen · What happens: look, kneel, raise, think, seem, swim · To what, where: altar, cup, lips, church, psalm · Speech: someone speaks here
