The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 3, sentence 49

Meanwhile, the Enchanter was taking care of King Charming, but as his power was not great enough to counteract the Fairy Mazilla’s, he at last resolved to go and see if he could make any kind of terms with her for his friend; for you see, Fairies and Enchanters are cousins in a sort of way, after all; and after knowing one another for five or six hundred years and falling out, and making it up again pretty often, they understand one another well enough.

Who acts: Enchanter, power, you, Fairies, Charming · What happens: take, not be, counteract, resolve, go, see · To what, where: care, Fairy Mazilla, Enchanter, kind, cousins, sort · Speech: someone speaks here
