Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 10

While the poor girl was falling she happily caught one of the branches of the willow tree, by the help of which she held herself over the water, and as soon as the baron with his company and the dogs had disappeared through the gate, the girl endeavoured to scramble up, but the branch broke off, and she would have fallen backward among the rushes, had not a strong hand from above seized her at this moment.

Who acts: poor girl, girl, branch · What happens: fall, catch, hold, disappear, endeavour, scramble up · To what, where: one, girl, water, dogs, gate, rushes
