Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Red Shoes, sentence 7

Suddenly a large old carriage drove up, and a large old lady sat in it: she looked at the little girl, felt compassion for her, and then said to the clergyman:

Who acts: large old carriage, large old lady, lady · What happens: drive up, sit, look, feel, say · To what, where: carriage, compassion, clergyman · Speech: someone speaks here
