Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, XIV. Night Visions, sentence 18

She stretched out her arms to him, but she did not venture to call him or to pray; and had she called him, it would have been useless, for it was not Rudy, only his hunting coat and hat hanging on an alpenstock, as the hunters sometimes arrange them to deceive the chamois. "

Who acts: Babette, agony, hunting coat, hunters · What happens: stretch out, not venture, call, pray, have, be · To what, where: arms, Rudy, alpenstock, chamois · Speech: someone speaks here
