Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 4, sentence 36

Her last thoughts on the night before her execution had filled this place, and the magic that tradition asserted to have been practised here, in Sir Svanwedel's time, came into Jurgen's mind, and made him shudder; but a sunbeam, a refreshing thought from without, penetrated his heart even here--it was the remembrance of the flowering elder and the sweet smelling lime-trees.

Who acts: night, tradition, last thoughts, sunbeam, staircase, Jurgen · What happens: fill, assert, practise, come, make, refresh · To what, where: execution, magic, mind, shudder, Jurgen, heart
