James M. Barrie
Peter invented, with Wendy's help, a new game that fascinated him enormously, until he suddenly had no more interest in it, which, as you have been told, was what always happened with his games. It consisted in pretending not to have adventures.
James M. Barrie
The last thing he ever said to me was, 'Just always be waiting for me, and then some night you will hear me crowing.
James M. Barrie
