"Yes, he is rather cocky," Wendy admitted with regret. Her
mother had been questioning her.

"He is Peter Pan, you 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.
