Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Holger Danske, sentence 41

I have often thought it might have been Holger Danske himself, who had swam down to us from Kronenburg to help us in the hour of danger.

Who acts: I, face, Holger · What happens: think, be, swim down, help · To what, where: Holger, us, Kronenburg · Speech: someone speaks here
