Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 53
It was as great and magnificent as it had always been, and the garden looked the same as ever; all the servants were strangers to her, not one of them knew Anne Lisbeth, nor of what consequence she had once been there; but she felt sure the countess would soon let them know it, and her darling boy, too: how she longed to see him!
Who acts: castle, garden, servants, strangers, consequence, countess · What happens: be, look, know, feel, let, long · To what, where: same, strangers, garden, Anne, consequence, castle
