'Do you think you could swim or fly as far as the island, Wendy, without my help?' She had to admit that she was too tired. He moaned. 'What is it?' she asked, anxious about him at once.

'We must go,' she said, almost brightly. 'Yes,' he answered faintly. 'Shall we swim or fly, Peter?' He had to tell her.
