Peter Pan, Chapter II. THE SHADOW, sentence 30

Mr. Darling would cry, and Nana’s bark was the echo of it, but Mrs. Darling never upbraided Peter; there was something in the right-hand corner of her mouth that wanted her not to call Peter names.

Who acts: Darling, bark, Mrs., something, mouth · What happens: cry, be, not upbraid, want, not call · To what, where: echo, Peter, Darling, Peter names · Speech: someone speaks here
