Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 3, sentence 72

How gladly would he have sunk upon his knees; but he must away to the next heart; yet he still heard the pealing tones of the organ, and he himself seemed to have become a newer and a better man; he felt unworthy to tread the neighboring sanctuary which a poor garret, with a sick bed-rid mother, revealed.

Who acts: difference, neighboring sanctuary · What happens: sink, hear, seem, become, feel, tread · To what, where: pealing tones, neighboring sanctuary, sick rid mother, organ
