Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 185
But at last one night she dreamt that she heard the voices of her brothers calling to her from the distant world, and she could not refrain herself, but went out to them, and yet it seemed in her dream that she still remained in her father's house.
Who acts: page, brothers, it · What happens: dreamt, hear, call, not refrain, go out, seem · To what, where: voices, page, distant world, jewel, house · Speech: someone speaks here
