Peter Pan, Chapter XVII. WHEN WENDY GREW UP, sentence 191

“Hullo, Wendy,” he said, not noticing any difference, for he was thinking chiefly of himself; and in the dim light her white dress might have been the nightgown in which he had seen her first.

Who acts: Wendy · What happens: say, not notice, think, see · To what, where: difference, chiefly, white dress, dim light · Speech: someone speaks here
