Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Children's Prattle, sentence 34

And the three other children--the children of good birth, of money, and of intellectual pride,--well, they were respected and honored in the world, for they had been well provided for by birth and position, and they had no cause to reproach themselves with what they had thought and spoken on that evening long ago, for, after all, it was mere "children's prattle."

Who acts: children, three other children · What happens: respect, honor, provide, have, reproach, think · To what, where: children, world, cause, mere prattle · Speech: someone speaks here
