Peter Pan, Chapter XIII. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?, sentence 53

The man was not wholly evil; he loved flowers (I have been told) and sweet music (he was himself no mean performer on the harpsichord); and, let it be frankly admitted, the idyllic nature of the scene stirred him profoundly.

Who acts: man, performer, idyllic nature · What happens: not be, love, tell, be, let, admit · To what, where: flowers, I, man, performer · Speech: someone speaks here
