AS> Congratulations on reading some good English with participial AS> adjectives (`disappeared') and Fowlerian `shall'. So you know the AS> meanings of every word in that sentence yet cannot join them into a AS> meaningful message? I think that sentence means the prince was AS> forbidden to reveal his story and identity while under the spell. It seems the problem was in the word "understanding". It has a very rare meaning "agreement". Although, IMHO, it is very difficult to say that there was an agreement between the prince and fairy. ;-) Bye, Anton!
