PETER
PAN, The complete and unabridged text
All
children, except one, grow
up. They soon know that
they will grow up, and
the way Wendy knew was
this. One day when she
was two years old she was
playing in a garden, and
she plucked another flower
and ran with it to her
mother. I suppose she must
have looked rather delightful,
for Mrs. Darling put her
hand to her heart and cried, "Oh,
why can't you remain like
this for ever!" This was
all that passed between
them on the subject, but
henceforth Wendy knew that
she must grow up. You always
know after you are two.
Two is the beginning of
the end.
