know, mother." At first Mrs. Darling did not
know, but after thinking back into
her
childhood she just remembered a Peter Pan
who was said to live with the fairies. There
were odd stories about him, as that when
children died he went part of the way with
them, so that they should not be frightened
She had believed in him at the time, but now
that she was married and full of sense she
quite doubted whether there was any such
person.
"Besides,"
she said to Wendy,
"he
would be grown up by this time." "Oh no, he
isn't
grown
up,
Wendy
assured
her
confidently, "and he is just my size." She meant
that he was her size in both mind and body;
she didn't know how she knew, she just knew itq What is the primary theme
