Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 11

The way Mr. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her.

Who acts: way, many gentlemen, girl, mind, Darling, one more · What happens: win, be, discover, love, run, propose · To what, where: many gentlemen, this, boys, girl, Darling, cab
