AK> From "Beauty and the Beast"
AK>
AK> -----Beginning of the citation-----
AK> ...   Beast  was  disappeared, and she saw, at her feet,
AK> one of the loveliest princes that eye ever  beheld;  who
AK> returned  her thanks for having put an end to the charm,
AK> under which he had so long  resembled  a  Beast.  Though
AK> this  prince  was worthy of all her attention, she could
AK> not forbear asking where Beast was.
AK>
AK> "You see him at your feet, said  the  prince.  A  wicked
AK> fairy  had condemned me to remain under that shape until
AK> a beautiful virgin should consent to marry me. The fairy
AK> likewise enjoined me to conceal my understanding.  There
AK> was only you in the world generous enough to be  won  by
AK> the  goodness of my temper, and in offering you my crown
AK> I can't discharge the obligations I have to you."
AK> ----- The end of the citation -----
AK>
AK> What does it mean - "The fairy likewise enjoined  me  to
AK> conceal my understanding"?

Congratulations   on   reading   some   good   English  with
participial   adjectives   (`disappeared')   and   Fowlerian
`shall'.   So  you  know  the meanings of every word in that
sentence yet cannot join them into a meaningful  message?  I
think that sentence means the prince was forbidden to reveal
his story and identity while under the spell.
