Peter Pan, Chapter III. COME AWAY, COME AWAY!, sentence 94

When people in our set are introduced, it is customary for them to ask each other’s age, and so Wendy, who always liked to do the correct thing, asked Peter how old he was.

Who acts: face, people, Wendy, Peter · What happens: introduce, be, ask, like, do · To what, where: people, customary, age, Wendy, correct thing, Peter · Speech: someone speaks here
