WENDY: Oh! Peter, when Captain Hook carried us away —
PETER: Who’s Captain Hook? Is it a story? Tell it me.
WENDY: (aghast) Do you mean to say you’ve even forgotten Captain Hook, and how you killed him and saved all our lives?
PETER: (fidgeting) I forget them after I kill them.J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
