Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of the Wind, sentence 130

I blew up the fire in the coals on the hearth, and it threw a red glow on his ghastly white face, lighting it up with a glare, while his sunken eyes looked out wildly from their cavernous depths, and appeared to grow larger and more prominent, as if they would burst from their sockets. '

Who acts: I, hearth, sunken eyes, eyes · What happens: blow up, throw, light up, look out, appear, grow · To what, where: fire, red glow, ghastly white face, glow, cavernous depths, sockets
