Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 6, sentence 57

An addition to the tower was not to be thought of, in consequence of the small space on the mountain summit; and one evening, as he sat with his wife before the entrance to the Haarburg, and looked out on the beautiful landscape, he said to her, pointing toward the mountain where the present castle stands:

Who acts: Bodo, present castle · What happens: not think, sit, look out, say, point, stand · To what, where: addition, entrance, beautiful landscape, wife · Speech: someone speaks here
