Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Will-o-the Wisp Is in the Town, Says the Moor Woman, sentence 158

I ought, indeed, to hold my tongue; but there must be a necessity--a fate--a something that sticks in my throat, and that wants to come out.

Who acts: that · What happens: hold, be, stick, want, come out · To what, where: tongue, necessity, throat
