Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 3, sentence 8

The seemingly dead body of the watchman wandered, as we have said, to the hospital, where it was brought into the general viewing-room: and the first thing that was done here was naturally to pull off the galoshes--when the spirit, that was merely gone out on adventures, must have returned with the quickness of lightning to its earthly tenement.

Who acts: dead body, we, first thing, that · What happens: wander, say, bring, do, be, return · To what, where: body, general viewing room, first thing, adventures · Speech: someone speaks here
