Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 4, sentence 72

She let herself down gently from the tree, and, as the last sunbeam vanished, she stood again in the wrinkled form of a frog, with the torn, webbed skin on her hands, but her eyes now gleamed with more radiant beauty than they had ever possessed in her most beautiful form of loveliness; they were now pure, mild maidenly eyes that shone forth in the face of a frog.

Who acts: flock, last sunbeam, eyes, mild maidenly eyes · What happens: let down, vanish, stand, wrinkle, tear, web · To what, where: flock, tree, wrinkled form, eyes, beautiful form, face
