Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Races, sentence 30
Not only the rapidity with which advance is made, but every other quality should have due consideration; as, for instance, how much weight a candidate is able to draw; but I have not brought this quality forward now, nor the sagacity of the hare in his flight, nor the cunning with which he suddenly springs aside and doubles, to lead people on a false track, thinking he has concealed himself.
Who acts: other quality, candidate, I, quality · What happens: make, have, be, draw, not bring, spring · To what, where: rapidity, due consideration, much weight, quality, people, false track · Speech: someone speaks here
