James M. Barrie
You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
James M. Barrie
This meal happened to be a make-believe tea, and they sat round the board guzzling in their greed and really, what with their chatter and recriminations, the noise, as Wendy said, was positively deafening.
James M. Barrie
