Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, IV. Babette, sentence 30
So, at least, Rudy would have said, for her image was pictured in his heart; her eyes shone in it so brightly, that quite a flame had been kindled there; and, like all other fires, it had burst forth so suddenly, that the miller's daughter, the beautiful Babette, was quite unaware of it.
Who acts: eyes, daughter · What happens: say, picture, shine, kindle, burst, be · To what, where: Rudy, least, image, heart, that, flame · Speech: someone speaks here
