Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 115

Hold fast! hold fast!" the spectre would cry; and as Anne Lisbeth murmured these words to herself, the whole of her dream was suddenly recalled to her memory, when the mother had clung to her, and uttered these words, when, amid the crashing of worlds, her sleeve had been torn, and she had slipped from the grasp of her child, who wanted to hold her up in that terrible hour.

Who acts: you, spectre, Anne, words, grasp · What happens: hold, cry, murmur, recall, cling, utter · To what, where: words, Anne, whole, memory, mother, sleeve · Speech: someone speaks here
