Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Last Pearl, sentence 39

"Yes, she is here; here in this sacred hour," replied the angel, pointing to a corner of the room; and there,--where in her life-time, the mother had taken her seat amidst flowers and pictures: in that spot, where she, like the blessed fairy of the house, had welcomed husband, children, and friends, and, like a sunbeam, had spread joy and cheerfulness around her, the centre and heart of them all,--there, in that very spot, sat a strange woman, clothed in long, flowing garments, and occupying the place of the dead wife and mother.

Who acts: fairy, angel, mother · What happens: be, reply, point, take, have, welcome · To what, where: corner, seat, welcomed husband, sunbeam, spot, strange woman · Speech: someone speaks here
