Peter Pan, Chapter II. THE SHADOW, sentence 10

She thought of showing it to Mr. Darling, but he was totting up winter great-coats for John and Michael, with a wet towel around his head to keep his brain clear, and it seemed a shame to trouble him; besides, she knew exactly what he would say: “It all comes of having a dog for a nurse.”

Who acts: Darling, Mr., it, shadow · What happens: think, show, tot up, keep, seem, know · To what, where: shadow, Darling, winter great coats, brain, shame, dog · Speech: someone speaks here
