Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 4, sentence 41

Judges of this kind were still to be found; and in Jutland, so far from the capital, and from the enlightened, well-meaning, head of the Government, the law was still very loosely administered sometimes--the smallest grievance Jurgen could expect was that his case should be delayed.

Who acts: meaning, smallest grievance · What happens: find, enlighten, be, expect · To what, where: Judges, law
