Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old Bachelor's Nightcap, sentence 105

How often had Anthony and Molly heard the story of Tristan and Isolda, and Anthony had thought the story applied to him, although Tristan means born in sorrow, which Anthony certainly was not; nor was it likely he would ever say of Molly as Tristan said of Isolda, "She has forgotten me."

Who acts: Anthony, Tristan, sorrow, story · What happens: have, hear, think, apply, mean, bear · To what, where: story, Anthony, born sorrow, Tristan · Speech: someone speaks here
