Peter Pan (23)

The Lost Boys wanted to come too, and Wendy promised she would ask Mr and Mrs Darling to adopt them.

Peter was very hurt, but he was too proud to show it.

He would not keep Wendy against her will.

So he pretended not to care, " I will ask the redskins to show you the way through the wood, and Tinker Bell guide you when you fly over the sea, " he said.

" But aren't you coming too ? " 

" Oh, no ! they would make me grow up. I want to stay a little boy always, and have fun ! "

Peter shook hands.
He did not even give Wendy a " thimble "

Wendy measured out a dose of his medicine (it was only water ) and put the glass on a shelf by his bed.

" Promise me you'll take it ! " she said in her motherly way.

" I promise ! Lead the way, Tinker Bell ! " ordered Peter.

Tink darted up the nearest tree, but nobody followed her.
For it was at that moment the pirate made thier dreadful attack on the redskins.

The air was full of shrieks and howls and the clash of steel.

Below, there was dead silence.

Wendy fell to her knees, and the boys all turned to Peter, holding out their arms, and begging him not to desert them.

And he seized his trusty sword, ready to do battle.
