Peter Pan, Chapter XVI. THE RETURN HOME, sentence 75
As Mr. Darling puts his head out to kiss his wife, we see that his face is more worn than of yore, but has a softer expression.
Who acts: we, face · What happens: put out, kiss, see, be, have · To what, where: head, wife, softer expression · Speech: someone speaks here
