Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Goblin and the Huckster, sentence 35
But from that time forward, the whole shop, from the cash box down to the pinewood logs, formed their opinions from that of the cask; and they all had such confidence in him, and treated him with so much respect, that when the huckster read the criticisms on theatricals and art of an evening, they fancied it must all come from the cask.
Who acts: logs, huckster, confidence · What happens: form, have, treat, read, fancy, come · To what, where: opinions, that, such confidence, student, much respect, theatricals
