Status Updates From Peter Pan

rereading this never gets old

“The difference between him and the other boys at such a time was that they knew it was make-believe, while to him make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make believe that they had had their dinners…” The lost boys don’t appear as lost but kidnapped and neglected

“Also he was fond of variety, and the sport that engrossed him one moment would suddenly cease to engage him, so there was always the possibility that the next time you fell he would let you go.” Like yes childish, but also deranged lol

“Eventually Peter would dive through the air, and catch Michael just before he could strike the sea, and it was lovely the way he did it; but he always waited till the last moment, and you felt it was his cleverness that interested him and not the saving of human life.” Really enjoying the portrayal of Peter

“Nana, seeing that no help would come from her, strained and strained at the chain until at last she broke it. In another moment she had burst into the dining-room of 27 and flung up her paws to heaven…Mr. and Mrs. Darling knew at once that something terrible was happening in their nursery…” See Nana the dog is the BEST nurse!
