Peter Pan, Chapter VIII. THE MERMAIDS’ LAGOON, sentence 83

Of course Wendy was very elated over Peter’s cleverness; but she knew that he would be elated also and very likely crow and thus betray himself, so at once her hand went out to cover his mouth.

Who acts: Wendy · What happens: elate, know, betray, go out, cover · To what, where: cleverness, Peter, hand, mouth
