Peter Pan, Chapter XIII. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?, sentence 10

Had she haughtily unhanded him (and we should have loved to write it of her), she would have been hurled through the air like the others, and then Hook would probably not have been present at the tying of the children; and had he not been at the tying he would not have discovered Slightly’s secret, and without the secret he could not presently have made his foul attempt on Peter’s life.

Who acts: Wendy, we, Hook · What happens: unhand, love, write, hurl, not be, have · To what, where: Hook, hat, Wendy, air, tying, secret
