Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Snowdrop, sentence 101
I shall endure it, however, for I shall look upon it all as a mere representation, a masquerade, a mummery, which to-morrow, that is, when I myself as a journeyman, shall have served my time, will vanish, and I shall go my way, and all that has passed will be nothing to me.
Who acts: I, that · What happens: endure, look, serve, vanish, go, pass · To what, where: hat, journeyman, that, way, nothing, me
