Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Elfin Hill, sentence 79

Now came the fourth daughter, with a large harp to play upon; and when she struck the first chord, every one lifted up the left leg (for the goblins are left-legged), and at the second chord they found they must all do just what she wanted.

Who acts: fourth daughter, daughter, one, legs · What happens: come, play, strike, lift up, leave, find · To what, where: first chord, left leg, second chord · Speech: someone speaks here
