Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old House, sentence 92

You all stood looking very grave, although it was very difficult to do so, but I laughed so to myself that I fell down from the table, and got a bruise, which is there still; I know it was not right to laugh.

Who acts: You, I, bruise, it · What happens: stand, look, be, do, laugh, fall down · To what, where: myself, table, bruise · Speech: someone speaks here
