Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 113
And with this the baron, as if carried by the wind, flew out of the hall straight into the shepherd's cottage, and the shepherd flew--not into the hall, thither he could not come--but into the servants' hall, among the smart footmen who were striding about in silk stockings; these haughty menials looked horror-struck that such a person ventured to sit at table with them.
Who acts: shepherd, smart footmen, haughty menials, person · What happens: carry, fly out, fly, not come, stride, look · To what, where: baron, hall, cottage, silk stockings, table
