"Peter Pan: [Peter and Wendy]" by J. M. Barrie is a work that began as a play in 1904 and became a novel in 1911. It tells the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up. He whisks Wendy Darling and her brothers away to Neverland, a magical island inhabited by mermaids, fairies, and pirates. There, they encounter the Lost Boys and face off against the villainous Captain Hook, all while navigating adventures that blur the line between childhood wonder and danger.

How could she resist.
¿Cómo podía resistirse.
“Of course it’s awfully fascinating!”
«¡Por supuesto que es terriblemente fascinante!»,
she cried.
exclamó.
“Peter, would you teach John and Michael to fly too?”
«Peter, ¿me enseñarías a volar a John y a Michael también?».
“If you like,” he said indifferently, and she ran to John and Michael and shook them.
«Si te place», dijo con indiferencia, y ella corrió hacia John y Michael y los sacudió.
“Wake up,” she cried, “Peter Pan has come and he is to teach us to fly.”
«Despertad», gritó, «Peter Pan ha venido y nos va a enseñar a volar».
John rubbed his eyes.
John se frotó los ojos.
“Then I shall get up,” he said.
«Entonces me levantaré», dijo.
Of course he was on the floor already.
Por supuesto que ya estaba en el suelo.
“Hallo,” he said, “I am up!”
«Hola», dijo, «¡estoy despierto!».
Michael was up by this time also, looking as sharp as a knife with six blades and a saw, but Peter suddenly signed silence.
Michael ya se había levantado en ese momento, luciendo tan afilado como un cuchillo de seis hojas y una sierra, pero Peter hizo señas de silencio repentinamente.
Their faces assumed the awful craftiness of children listening for sounds from the grown-up world.
Sus rostros adoptaron la terrible astucia de los niños que escuchan atentamente sonidos procedentes del mundo de los adultos.
All was as still as salt.
Todo estaba tan quieto como la sal.
Then everything was right.
Entonces todo estaba bien.
No, stop!
No, ¡espera!
Everything was wrong.
Todo estaba mal.
Nana, who had been barking distressfully all the evening, was quiet now.
Nana, que había estado ladrando angustiosamente toda la tarde, estaba callada ahora.
It was her silence they had heard.
Era su silencio el que habían oído.
“Out with the light!
«¡Apaga la luz!
Hide!
¡Escondéos!
Quick!”
¡Rápido!»,
cried John, taking command for the only time throughout the whole adventure.
gritó John, tomando el mando por única vez durante toda la aventura.
And thus when Liza entered, holding Nana, the nursery seemed quite its old self, very dark, and you would have sworn you heard its three wicked inmates breathing angelically as they slept.
Y así, cuando Liza entró, sosteniendo a Nana, la habitación de los niños parecía completamente su yo de antes, muy oscura, y habrías jurado oír a sus tres malvados inquilinos respirar angelicalmente mientras dormían.
They were really doing it artfully from behind the window curtains.
En realidad lo hacían con astucia detrás de las cortinas de la ventana.
Liza was in a bad temper, for she was mixing the Christmas puddings in the kitchen, and had been drawn from them, with a raisin still on her cheek, by Nana’s absurd suspicions.
Liza estaba de mal humor, porque estaba mezclando los budines de Navidad en la cocina, y había sido arrancada de ellos, con un pasas aún en la mejilla, por las absurdas sospechas de Nana.
She thought the best way of getting a little quiet was to take Nana to the nursery for a moment, but in custody of course.
Pensó que la mejor manera de conseguir un poco de tranquilidad era llevar a Nana a la habitación de los niños por un momento, pero bajo custodia, por supuesto.
