Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 4

From the narrow pass came the sound of bugles and the trampling of horses' feet; therefore a little girl who was watching the geese hastened to drive them away from the bridge, before the whole hunting party came galloping up; they came, however, so quickly, that the girl, in order to avoid being run over, placed herself on one of the high corner-stones of the bridge.

Who acts: narrow pass, little girl, whole hunting party, geese, feet · What happens: come, watch, hasten, drive, gallop up, avoid · To what, where: sound, geese, party
