Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 3, sentence 37
The whole Charity School, just opposite, would be in motion; all the new booths, with their not very courtier-like swarm of seamen, would join them out of curiosity, and would greet him with a wild “hurrah!” while he was standing in his pillory: there would be a mob, a hissing, and rejoicing, and jeering, ten times worse than in the rows about the Jews some years ago--“Oh, my blood is mounting to my brain; 'tis enough to drive one mad!
Who acts: whole Charity School, courtier, blood · What happens: be, join, greet, stand, rejoice, mount · To what, where: motion, seamen, curiosity, courtier, pillory, mob · Speech: someone speaks here
