Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 3, sentence 5

Cold nights, bad living, and blows had to be endured; then he felt his noble Spanish blood boil within him, and bitter, angry, words rose to his lips, but he gulped them down; it was better, although he felt as the eel must feel when it is skinned, cut up, and put into the frying-pan.

Who acts: Cold nights, Jurgen, words, eel · What happens: have, endure, feel, rise, gulp down, be · To what, where: noble Spanish blood boil, lips, words, frying pan
