The Fourth Watch

The Fourth Watch

By Genevieve Yue for Grey Room.

“Peter Pan! Oh, Peter, I knew you’d come back! I saved your shadow for you. Oh I do hope it isn’t rumpled. You know, you look exactly the way I thought you would. Oh, a litter taller perhaps. But then—you can’t stick it on with soap, Peter. It needs sewing. That’s the proper way to do it. Although, come to think of it, I’ve never thought about it before. Sewing shadows, I mean. Of course, I knew it was your shadow the minute I saw it. And I said to myself, I’ll put it away for him until he comes back. He’s sure to come back.”

—Wendy to Peter, Peter Pan (1953) info
