Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 24

She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again.

Who acts: Wendy, that, way, Darling, suggestions · What happens: want, risk, come, not be, be, confuse · To what, where: hand, way, Darling, suggestions, beginning
