Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Our Aunt, sentence 49

She had, through the influence of her benefactor, Herr Sivertsen, procured a free admission for the Agent Fabs, although he did not deserve it in the least, for he was always cutting his jokes about the theatre and teasing our aunt; but she had procured him a free admission to the flies, for all that.

Who acts: aunt, Judgment · What happens: have, procure, not deserve, cut, tease, joke · To what, where: influence, free admission, admission, least, jokes, aunt
