Peter Pan, Chapter IV. THE FLIGHT, sentence 87

Of course the Neverland had been make-believe in those days, but it was real now, and there were no night-lights, and it was getting darker every moment, and where was Nana?

Who acts: Neverland, night lights · What happens: have, be, believe, get · To what, where: make, Nana

This is a sentence of «Peter Pan» by J. M. Barrie, Chapter IV. THE FLIGHT. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Neverland, night lights), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
