Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 4, sentence 48

"It is the wholesomest juice that ever was squeezed out of the grape," said she; "for, instead of disguising a man, as other liquor is apt to do, it brings him to his true self, and shows him as he ought to be."

Who acts: enchantress, other liquor · What happens: be, squeeze out, say, disguise, do, bring · To what, where: wholesomest juice, grape, man, Ulysses, true self · Speech: someone speaks here
