Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 2, sentence 41

He stood in the handsomely furnished apartment, and held between his fingers a small sheet of rose-colored paper, on which some verses were written--written indeed by the officer himself; for who has not, at least once in his life, had a lyrical moment?

Who acts: lieutenant · What happens: stand, furnish, hold, color, write, not have · To what, where: furnished apartment, small sheet, fingers, verses
