Peter Pan, Chapter IX. THE NEVER BIRD, sentence 48

This so inflated them that they did various dodgy things to get staying up still longer, such as demanding bandages; but Wendy, though glorying in having them all home again safe and sound, was scandalised by the lateness of the hour, and cried, “To bed, to bed,” in a voice that had to be obeyed.

Who acts: This, adventures, various dodgy things, lateness, voice · What happens: inflate, do, get, stay up, demand, glory · To what, where: adventures, voice, various dodgy things, bandages, bed
