Peter Pan, Chapter XIII. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?, sentence 15

While his dogs were merely sweating because every time they tried to pack the unhappy lad tight in one part he bulged out in another, Hook’s master mind had gone far beneath Slightly’s surface, probing not for effects but for causes; and his exultation showed that he had found them.

Who acts: dogs, turn, master mind, exultation, Hook · What happens: sweat, try, pack, bulge out, go, probe · To what, where: time, unhappy lad, one part, another, surface, dogs · Speech: someone speaks here
