The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 6, sentence 61

We should take this to heart, so that it may not happen to us, for we cannot indeed tell if we may not some day come to the rag-bag, and be made into white paper, on which will be printed our whole history, even the most secret parts, so that we too go about the world relating it, like the shirt-collar.

Who acts: We, it · What happens: take, not happen, not tell, not come, make, print · To what, where: this, us, rag bag, white paper, whole history, paper · Speech: someone speaks here
