Peter Pan, Chapter XVI. THE RETURN HOME, sentence 21

Even now we venture into that familiar nursery only because its lawful occupants are on their way home; we are merely hurrying on in advance of them to see that their beds are properly aired and that Mr. and Mrs. Darling do not go out for the evening.

Who acts: we, lawful occupants, Mrs., occupants · What happens: venture, be, hurry on, see, air, not go out · To what, where: familiar nursery, way, advance, beds · Speech: someone speaks here
