Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 5, sentence 9

As for the lions, tigers, and wolves (though Circe would have restored them to their former shapes at his slightest word), Ulysses thought it advisable that they should remain as they now were, and thus give warning of their cruel dispositions, instead of going about under the guise of men, and pretending to human sympathies, while their hearts had the blood-thirstiness of wild beasts.

Who acts: Ulysses, wolves, hearts, king · What happens: restore, think, remain, be, give, go about · To what, where: wolves, crown, warning, guise, blood thirstiness, cruel dispositions · Speech: someone speaks here
