Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Cheerful Temper, sentence 12

I am not very young, I have neither wife nor children, nor a library, but, as I said, I read the Intelligencer, which is enough for me; it is to me a delightful paper, and so it was to my father.

Who acts: I, Intelligencer · What happens: not be, have, say, read, be · To what, where: wife, delightful paper, Intelligencer · Speech: someone speaks here
