Peter Pan, Chapter V. THE ISLAND COME TRUE, sentence 74

“I am the only one who is not afraid of the pirates,” Slightly said, in the tone that prevented his being a general favourite; but perhaps some distant sound disturbed him, for he added hastily, “but I wish he would come back, and tell us whether he has heard anything more about Cinderella.”

Who acts: I, only one, tone, distant sound, Peter · What happens: be, not be, say, prevent, disturb, add · To what, where: only one, tone, general favourite, Peter, us, anything · Speech: someone speaks here
