Peter Pan, Chapter VII. THE HOME UNDER THE GROUND, sentence 13

By tea-time it was always about two feet high, and then they put a door on top of it, the whole thus becoming a table; as soon as they cleared away, they sawed off the trunk again, and thus there was more room to play.

Who acts: floor, feet · What happens: be, put, become, clear away, saw off, play · To what, where: door, top, table, trunk, high more room
