The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 2, sentence 44

From time to time, indeed, one regains his own proper form and goes back again to his place in the upper world; but the other beings whom you saw are the rivals or the enemies of Ragotte, whom she has imprisoned for a hundred years or so; though even they will go back at last.

Who acts: one, you, other beings, beings, King · What happens: regain, go back, see, be, imprison, form · To what, where: own proper form, other beings, rivals, last
