Peter Pan, Chapter XIII. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?, sentence 40

Unaware of the tragedy being enacted above, Peter had continued, for a little time after the children left, to play gaily on his pipes: no doubt rather a forlorn attempt to prove to himself that he did not care.

Who acts: doubt, Peter · What happens: enact, continue, leave, play, attempt, prove · To what, where: Unaware, Peter, children, pipes
