Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Travelling Companion, part 2, sentence 74

He thought only of the beautiful princess, and believed that in some way he should have help, but how he knew not, and did not like to think about it; so he danced along the high-road as he went back to the inn, where he had left his fellow-traveller waiting for him.

Who acts: John, fellow traveller · What happens: think, believe, have, not know, not like, dance · To what, where: help, way, high road, fellow traveller · Speech: someone speaks here
