Peter Pan, Chapter VII. THE HOME UNDER THE GROUND, sentence 66

He might have forgotten it so completely that he said nothing about it; and then when you went out you found the body; and, on the other hand, he might say a great deal about it, and yet you could not find the body.

Who acts: sort, you · What happens: forget, say, go out, find, not find · To what, where: much, nothing, body, great deal, other hand · Speech: someone speaks here
