Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Under the Willow-tree, part 2, sentence 47

Then, as the violins played and the girls danced round the room, he started; for it seemed to him as if he were in a place where he ought not to have brought Joanna, for she was here with him in his heart; and so he went out at once.

Who acts: girls, Knud, it, room · What happens: play, dance, start, seem, be, not bring · To what, where: room, Knud, place, Joanna
