Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bishop of Borglum and His Warriors, sentence 7
And at this convent we now arrive in the late evening hour; but the weather is clear in the bright June night around us, and the eye can range far, far over field and moor to the Bay of Aalborg, over heath and meadow, and far across the deep blue sea.
Who acts: we, weather, eye · What happens: arrive, be, range · To what, where: convent, field
