Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, First Visit, sentence 27

I've a kind of niece, who is a fishwife, and who, as she tells me, supplies three respectable newspapers with the terms of abuse and vituperation they use, and she has herself been at Amack as an invited guest; but she was carried out thither, for she does not own a quill pen, nor can she ride.

Who acts: niece, newspapers, Amack · What happens: be, tell, supply, use, have, invite · To what, where: fishwife, me, three respectable newspapers, abuse, Amack, quill pen · Speech: someone speaks here
