Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old Bachelor's Nightcap, sentence 56

The pictures did not follow one another in order, as the circumstances they represented had occurred; very often the most painful would come together, and when those came which were most full of joy, they had always the deepest shadow thrown upon them.

Who acts: pictures, circumstances, painful, those · What happens: not follow, represent, occur, come together, come, be · To what, where: one, order, circumstances, deepest shadow
