Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Windmill, sentence 19

When, lately, in my wisdom, I let the father and the boys examine my throat and the hole in my chest, to see what was going on there,--for something in me was out of order, and it's well to examine one's self,--the little ones made a tremendous noise.

Who acts: I, boys, order, little ones · What happens: let, examine, see, go, be, make · To what, where: father, wisdom, throat, order, self, tremendous noise · Speech: someone speaks here
