Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Silver Shilling, sentence 8

Here it lay among a number of foreign companions, who were always coming and going, one taking the place of another, but the shilling from home was always put back, and had to remain in the purse, which was certainly a mark of distinction.

Who acts: shilling, foreign companions, one, purse · What happens: lie, come, go, take, put back, have · To what, where: number, place, shilling, purse, mark
