Peter Pan, Chapter VII. THE HOME UNDER THE GROUND, sentence 6
Usually it is done quite easily, as by your wearing too many garments or too few, but if you are bumpy in awkward places or the only available tree is an odd shape, Peter does some things to you, and after that you fit.
Who acts: your, you, only available tree, Peter · What happens: do, wear, be, fit · To what, where: difference, many garments, awkward places, odd shape, things, you
