Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shadow, sentence 115

“I saw everything, and I shall tell all to you: but--it is no pride on my part--as a free man, and with the knowledge I have, not to speak of my position in life, my excellent circumstances--I certainly wish that you would say YOU* to me!”

Who acts: learned man, debt, you · What happens: see, tell, be, have, not speak, wish · To what, where: everything, all, you, pride, part, learned man · Speech: someone speaks here
