Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 4, sentence 23
And Circe, as the beautiful enchantress was called (who had deluded so many persons that she did not doubt of being able to delude Ulysses, not imagining how wise he was), again addressed him:
Who acts: Circe, Ulysses · What happens: call, delude, not doubt, be, not imagine, address · To what, where: Circe, many persons, Ulysses · Speech: someone speaks here
