Peter Pan, Chapter XIII. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?, sentence 38

As his eyes became accustomed to the dim light various objects in the home under the trees took shape; but the only one on which his greedy gaze rested, long sought for and found at last, was the great bed.

Who acts: trees, only one, Hook · What happens: accustom, take, rest, seek, find, be · To what, where: eyes, shape, greedy gaze, last, great bed
