Peter Pan, Chapter XVI. THE RETURN HOME, sentence 48

Of course, as we have seen, he was quite a simple man; indeed he might have passed for a boy again if he had been able to take his baldness off; but he had also a noble sense of justice and a lion’s courage to do what seemed right to him; and having thought the matter out with anxious care after the flight of the children, he went down on all fours and crawled into the kennel.

Who acts: we, Nana · What happens: see, be, pass, take off, have, do · To what, where: simple man, Nana, baldness, noble sense, matter, fours · Speech: someone speaks here
