Peter Pan, Chapter V. THE ISLAND COME TRUE, sentence 63

The redskins disappear as they have come like shadows, and soon their place is taken by the beasts, a great and motley procession: lions, tigers, bears, and the innumerable smaller savage things that flee from them, for every kind of beast, and, more particularly, all the man-eaters, live cheek by jowl on the favoured island.

Who acts: redskins, beasts, innumerable smaller savage things · What happens: disappear, come, take, flee, live, favour · To what, where: place, cheek
