Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell, sentence 48

But the poor boy with the wooden shoes was quite ashamed; he pulled at the short sleeves of his jacket, and said that he was afraid he could not walk so fast; besides, he was of opinion that the bell ought to be sought at the right, for there was all that was grand and magnificent.

Who acts: poor boy, boy, that · What happens: be, pull, say, not walk, seek · To what, where: bell, right · Speech: someone speaks here
