James M. Barrie
Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them. For instance, they may remember to mention, a week after the event happened, that when they were in the wood they had met their dead father and had a game with him.
James M. Barrie
They have long lost count of the days, but always if they want to do anything special they say this is saturday night, and then they do it.
