Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Porter's Son, part 3, sentence 116

The Professor, who was received in the King's palace, might very well be received by the General; but that he could ever belong to the house was out of the question, only the whole town was talking of it.

Who acts: General, whole town · What happens: receive, belong, be, talk · To what, where: Professor, palace, question
