Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 94

Anne Lisbeth walked on, thinking of nothing at all, as people say, or rather her thoughts wandered, but not away from her, for thought is never absent from us, it only slumbers.

Who acts: Anne, people, thoughts, thought · What happens: walk on, think, say, wander, not be, slumber · Speech: someone speaks here
