Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Emperor's New Clothes, sentence 84

What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!” in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office.

Who acts: magnificent train, scarf, one, Emperor · What happens: be, hang, allow, not see, admire, do · To what, where: short, admired clothes, Emperor
