Wendy was quite surprised, but interested; and she indicated in the charming drawing room manner, by a touch on her night gown, that he could sit nearer her. 'It was because I heard father and mother,' he explained in a low voice, 'talking about what I was to be when I became a man.' WENDY WAS QUITE SURPRISED BUT INTERESTED AND SHE INDICATED IN THE CHARMING DRAWING ROOM MANNER BY A TOUCH ON HER NIGHTGOWN THAT HE COULD SIT NEARER HER IT WAS BECAUSE I HEARD FATHER AND MOTHER HE EXPLAINED IN A LOW VOICE TALKING ABOUT WHAT I WAS TO BE WHEN I BECAME A MAN
nd not to hurt his feelings she gave him a thimble. 'Now,' said he, 'shall I give you a kiss?' and she replied with a slight primness, 'If you please.' She made herself rather cheap by inclining her face toward him, but he merely dropped an acorn button into her hand; so she slowly returned her face to where it had been before, and said nicely that she would wear his kiss on the chain round her neck. It was lucky that she did put it on that chain, for it was afterwards to save her life. When people in our set are introduced, it is customary for them to ask each other's age, and so Wendy, who always liked to do the correct thing, asked Peter how old he was. It was not really a happy question to ask him; it was like an examination paper that asks grammar, when what you want to be asked is Kings of England. 'I don't know,' he replied uneasily, 'but I am quite young.' He really knew nothing about it; he had merely suspicions, but he said at a venture, 'Wendy, I ran away the day I was born. WHEN YOU GIVE IT ME HE REPLIED STIFFLY AND NOT TO HURT HIS FEELING SHE GAVE HIM A THIMBLE NOW SAID HE SHALL I GIVE YOU A KISS AND SHE REPLIED WITH A SLIGHT PRIMNESS IF YOU PLEASE SHE MADE HERSELF RATHER CHEAP BY INCLINING HER FACE TOWARD HIM BUT HE MERELY DROPPED AN ACORN BUTTON INTO HER HAND SO SHE SLOWLY RETURNED HER FACE TO WHERE IT HAD BEEN BEFORE AND SAID NICELY THAT SHE WOULD WEAR HIS KISS ON THE CHAIN ROUND HER NECK IT WAS LUCKY THAT SHE DID PUT IT ON THAT CHAIN FOR IT WAS AFTERWARDS TO SAVE HER LIFE WHEN PEOPLE IN OUR SET ARE INTRODUCED IT IS CUSTOMARY FOR THEM TO ASK EACH OTHER'S AGE AND SO WENDY WHO ALWAYS LIKED TO DO THE CORRECT THING ASKED PETER HOW OLD HE WAS IT WAS NOT REALLY A HAPPY QUESTION TO ASK HIM IT WAS LIKE AN EXAMINATION PAPER THAT ASKS GRAMMAR WHEN WHAT YOU WANT TO BE ASKED IS KINGS OF ENGLAND I DON'T KNOW HE REPLIED UNEASILY BUT I AM QUITE YOUNG HE REALLY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT HE HAD MERELY SUSPICIONS BUT HE SAID AT A VENTURE WENDY I RAN AWAY THE DAY I WAS BORN
