Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old Bachelor's Nightcap, sentence 86

Molly, however, did, though she only said the words, "Lady Halle, Lady Halle," loudly and distinctly; the rest she muttered so much under her breath that Anthony felt certain she had really said nothing; and yet she looked quite bold and saucy, just as she did sometimes when she was in the garden with a number of other little girls; they would all stand round him together, and want to kiss him, because he did not like to be kissed, and pushed them away.

Who acts: Molly, rest, Anthony · What happens: do, say, mutter, feel, look, be · To what, where: words, nothing, garden, Anthony, rest · Speech: someone speaks here
