Peter Pan, Chapter V. THE ISLAND COME TRUE, sentence 110

Hook heaved a heavy sigh, and I know not why it was, perhaps it was because of the soft beauty of the evening, but there came over him a desire to confide to his faithful bo’sun the story of his life.

Who acts: Hook, I, sigh, desire · What happens: heave, not know, be, come over, confide · To what, where: heavy sigh, Hook, story, faithful bo’sun · Speech: someone speaks here
