Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 3, sentence 36

He saw clearly that it was his irrevocable destiny to remain a prisoner till dawn, or, perhaps, even late in the morning; then the smith must be fetched to file away the bars; but all that would not be done so quickly as he could think about it.

Who acts: creature, feeling · What happens: see, be, remain, fetch, file away, not do · To what, where: irrevocable destiny, prisoner, smith, bars, all · Speech: someone speaks here
