![]() "Take that! And that! AND THAT!" Michael stabbed his sword under John's arm. She tried to lick it off, but it made her stomach crawl. Nana glared at the boy, but then the tonic fell on her paw. Just the smell and color made the guest wrinkle her nose, knowing she wasn't already going to like it. "You'll never leave this ship alive!" the two boys then bounced all over the beds, messing them up.Ĭherry held the tray steady as Nana was pouring tonic into the spoons. "I'm sorry, Michael." John told his brother. "I'll cut you to pieces!" John called, letting Cherry out of his grip. Cherry smiled back and pet the housemaid dog which got her a lick to the hand. Nana walked in and looked up with Cherry with a smile. "Sorry Cherry, but Mother wants us to stay healthy." Wendy replied. "Aw, I have to take it too?" Cherry cringed. "Oh, Nana, must we always take that nasty tonic?" Wendy asked as the dog came in with a tray of tonic with four spoons for the children. "Never Pan!" John cackled and clutched Cherry with his free hand. "Release Princess Tigerlily!" Michael demanded. She then went back to the boys as they continued to play. "Grow a sense of humor, John boy." Cherry pushed her glasses back with a laugh. "I love my brothers dearly, but I wouldn't mind if John went to college already." Wendy whispered and giggled with Cherry. "I have two older brothers, I never met one of them, but the other one I grew up with is in college now." "You'd get used to it, you have any brothers, Cherry?" Wendy asked.Ĭherry nodded. "The boys are wild, huh?" Cherry laughed as she walked over to Wendy to help her get ready for bed. "Oh, yes," John moved the closet hangar to his other hand. "Oh, no, John, it was the left hand." she told her brother. Wendy then walked in, wearing her night-gown. "Be careful!" Cherry cried and hid under John's bed as the boys fought. "Never! I'll teach you to cut off my hand, you racking fracking brat!" "Curse you, Peter Pan!" John called in a gruff voice. John was playing as Captain Hook, Michael was Peter Pan and Cherry was Princess Tigerlily. John had a red bandana on his head with a wooden sword, Michael had one too, and Cherry had a feather in her hair. "I'm sure he's fine, Michelle." Mary replied, fixing her hair. "Is your husband alright, Mary?" Michelle asked. "And if we don't go to the party, I can never show my face in the office again! And if-OW!" "Mary, unless I find my cufflinks, we won't go to the party," George said from the other room. "George, dear! Do hurry, we musn't be late for the party, you know." "Tell me about it," Mary said, adjusting her earrings. "I wonder why it takes such a long time for men to get ready." Michelle said. The younger kids were easily influenced by Wendy's stories about the one they call Peter Pan. It was getting late after Cherry met her cousins for the first time and they were now playing while their parents were getting ready to go out for the night.
