The Yellow Fairy Book, The Steadfast Tin-soldier, sentence 92

All the servants stood in the courtyard and saw them mount their steeds, and here by chance came the third brother; for the squire had three sons, but nobody counted him with his brothers, for he was not so learned as they were, and he was generally called ‘Blockhead-Hans.’

Who acts: servants, third brother, nobody, brothers · What happens: stand, see, mount, come, have, count · To what, where: courtyard, servants, steeds, three sons, horse · Speech: someone speaks here
