Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Shadow, sentence 9

People at this hour began to make their appearance in all the balconies in the street; for in warm climates every window has a balcony, in which they can breathe the fresh evening air, which is very necessary, even to those who are used to a heat that makes them as brown as mahogany; so that the street presented a very lively appearance.

Who acts: People, window, fresh evening air, heat, street · What happens: begin, make, have, breathe, be, use · To what, where: appearance, balconies, balcony, fresh evening air, window, lively appearance
