Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Porter's Son, part 3, sentence 42

Emily's room was fragrant with flowers, sent by male and female friends; on the table lay beautiful presents for greeting and remembrance, but none could come from George--none could come from him; but it was not necessary, for the whole house was full of remembrances of him.

Who acts: room, none, whole house · What happens: be, send, lie, come, not be, remember · To what, where: beautiful presents, table, George
