Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 10
Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more; and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner.
Who acts: romantic mind, that, many, one more, sweet mocking mouth, Wendy · What happens: be, come, discover, have, not get, mind · To what, where: puzzling East, one kiss, kiss, hand corner
