Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 60

You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight.

Who acts: You, I, thing · What happens: see, expect, linger, wonder, pick up, make · To what, where: mother, knees, some, you, earth, discoveries · Speech: someone speaks here
