Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 5, sentence 7

He partook of the bread and wine, and it so happened that he knelt by the side of Miss Clara; but his thoughts were so fixed upon heaven and the Holy Sacrament that he did not notice his neighbour until he rose from his knees, and then he saw tears rolling down her cheeks.

Who acts: Communion, it, tears · What happens: partake, happen, kneel, fix, not notice, rise · To what, where: thoughts, neighbour, knees, tears, cheeks
