Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 108

Mrs. Darling did not know what to think, for it all seemed so natural to Wendy that you could not dismiss it by saying she had been dreaming.

Who acts: Mrs., you · What happens: not know, think, seem, not dismiss, say, dream · To what, where: window · Speech: someone speaks here
