[Peter Pan by James M. Barrie]@TWC D-Link bookPeter Pan Chapter8 22/24
Peter, feeling her slip from him, woke with a start, and was just in time to draw her back.
But he had to tell her the truth. "We are on the rock, Wendy," he said, "but it is growing smaller.
Soon the water will be over it." She did not understand even now. "We must go," she said, almost brightly. "Yes," he answered faintly. "Shall we swim or fly, Peter ?" He had to tell her. "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. "I can't help you, Wendy.
Hook wounded me.
I can neither fly nor swim." "Do you mean we shall both be drowned ?" "Look how the water is rising." They put their hands over their eyes to shut out the sight.
