Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 5, sentence 84

The sun now set: a freezing cold, though of short duration pervaded the whole creation; it was like a horrid gust coming from a burial-vault on a warm summer's day--but all around the mountains retained that wonderful green tone which we see in some old pictures, and which, should we not have seen a similar play of color in the South, we declare at once to be unnatural.

Who acts: freezing, horrid gust, we, color · What happens: set, pervade, be, come, retain, see · To what, where: sun, whole creation, burial vault, mountains, wonderful green tone, old pictures
