Book excerpt: As I enter the club smoking-room you are to conceive David vanishing into nothingness, and that it is any day six years ago at two in the afternoon. I ring for coffee, cigarette, andcherry brandy, and take my chair by the window, just as the absurd little nursery governesscomes tripping into the street. I always feel that I have rung for her.While I am lifting the coffee-pot cautiously lest the lid fall into the cup, she is crossing tothe post-office; as I select the one suitable lump of sugar she is taking six last looks at theletter; with the aid of William I light my cigarette, and now she is re-reading the deliciousaddress. I lie back in my chair, and by this time she has dropped the letter down the slit. Itoy with my liqueur, and she is listening to hear whether the postal authorities have comefor her letter. I scowl at a fellow-member who has had the impudence to enter the smokingroom, and her two little charges are pulling her away from the post-office. When I look outat the window again she is gone, but I shall ring for her to-morrow at two sharp.She must have passed the window many times before I noticed her. I know not whereshe lives, though I suppose it to be hard by. She is taking the little boy and girl, who bullyher, to the St. James's Park, as their hoops tell me, and she ought to look crushed and faded.No doubt her mistress overworks her. It must enrage the other servants to see herdeporting herself as if she were quite the lady.I noticed that she had sometimes other letters to post, but that the posting of the oneonly was a process. They shot down the slit, plebeians all, but it followed pompously likeroyalty. I have even seen her blow a kiss after it

Download or read book The Little White Bird Or Adventures in Kensington Gardens Annotated Edition written by James Matthew Barrie and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little White Bird is a novel by British creator J.M. Barrie which spans fable and whimsy to social remark with dark, aggressive undertones. The book reached prominence and longevity mostly because of the advent of a character referred to as Peter Pan, whose chapters are written in a mile gentler tone than the rest of the e-book. Four years later, in 1906, those chapters have been published as a e book in their personal proper as "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens". The Peter Pan story commenced as a single bankruptcy however grew to end up a "book within a book" of more than one hundred pages at some stage in the 4 years that Barrie labored on the e book.The Little White Bird is a sequence of brief episodes that included both fanciful tales that were set in Kensington Gardens and accounts of the narrator's normal sports. The tale is about in numerous specific locations inside London and the Peter Pan section is set in London's lovely Kensington Gardens, one of the famous royal parks. The chapters include detailed descriptions of recognizable capabilities of the Gardens and Barrie gives them fable names that the characters use after "Lock Out Time", his time period for the time on the end of the day while the park gates are closed to the general public and the fairies and other magical inhabitants of the park are able to pass approximately greater freely than they could at some point of the daylight hours when they must conceal from ordinary humans.The 1/3 segment of the book, following the Kensington Gardens chapters, are once again set in the preferred London place but their precise region isn't pinpointed. There are some quick returns to Kensington Gardens that aren't a part of the Peter Pan writings. Chapter Twenty-Four consists of a brilliant diversion to Patagonia before Barrie brings the tale returned to England through a voyage over the ocean to the "white cliffs of Albion".The Little White Bird is fine acknowledged for its creation of Peter Pan however it's been eclipsed by the stage play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. Although once in a while it is defined as a prelude to the play the two memories are in reality incompatible with each different, in particular within the Peter Pan person who's stated to be only seven days vintage, however within the later story is portrayed as being of college age.

In 1906, those chapters were published separately as a children's book, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. The Peter Pan story began as one chapter and grew to an "elaborate book-within-a-book" of more than one hundred pages during the four years Barrie worked on The Little White Bird.The complete book has also been published under the title The Little White Bird, or Adventures in Kensington Gardens. The story is set in several locations; the earlier chapters are set in the town of London, contemporaneous to the time of Barrie's writing, and involving some time travel of a few years, and other fantasy elements, while remaining within the London setting. The middle chapters that later became Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens are set in London's famous Kensington Gardens, introduced by the statement that "All perambulators lead to Kensington Gardens."The Kensington Gardens chapters include detailed descriptions of the features of the Gardens, along with fantasy names given to the locations by the story's characters, especially after "Lock-Out Time," described by Barrie as the time at the end of the day when the park gates are closed to the public, and the fairies and other magical inhabitants of the park can move about more freely than during the daylight, when they must hide from ordinary people.The third section of the book, following the Kensington Gardens chapters, are again set generally in London, though there are some short returns to the Gardens that are not part of the Peter Pan stories. In a two-page diversion in chapter 24, Barrie brings the story to Patagonia, and a journey by ship returning to England at the "white cliffs of Albion..".. Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM (9 May 1860 - 19 June 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. He was born and educated in Scotland but moved to London, where he wrote a number of successful novels and plays. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys, who inspired him to write about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about an ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. Although he continued to write successfully, Peter Pan overshadowed his other work, and is credited with popularising the then-uncommon name Wendy.Barrie unofficially adopted the Davies boys following the deaths of their parents. Barrie was made a baronet by George V on 14 June 1913, and a member of the Order of Merit in the 1922 New Year Honours. Before his death, he gave the rights to the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, which continues to benefit from them.

Book excerpt: If you ask your mother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a little girl she will say, "Why, of course, I did, child," and if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days she will say, "What a foolish question to ask, certainly he did." Then if you ask your grandmother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a girl, she also says, "Why, of course, I did, child," but if you ask her whether he rode on a goat in those days, she says she never heard of his having a goat. Perhaps she has forgotten, just as she sometimes forgets your name and calls you Mildred, which is your mother's name. Still, she could hardly forget such an important thing as the goat. Therefore there was no goat when your grandmother was a little girl. This shows that, in telling the story of Peter Pan, to begin with the goat (as most people do) is as silly as to put on your jacket before your vest.Of course, it also shows that Peter is ever so old, but he is really always the same age, so that does not matter in the least. His age is one week, and though he was born so long ago he has never had a birthday, nor is there the slightest chance of his ever having one. The reason is that he escaped from being a human when he was seven days' old; he escaped by the window and flew back to the Kensington Gardens.

Book excerpt: He told her, and I understand that she pretended to be indignant. When I pass her in the street now she pouts. Clearly preparing for our meeting. She has also said, I learn, that I shall not think so much of her when she is fifty-two, meaning that she will not be so pretty then. So little does the sex know of beauty. Surely a spirited old lady may be the prettiest sight in the world. For my part, I confess that it is they, and not the young ones, who have ever been my undoing. Just as I was about to fall in love I suddenly found that I preferred the mother. Indeed, I cannot see a likely young creature without impatiently considering her chances for, say, fifty-two. Oh, you mysterious girls, when you are fifty-two we shall find you out; you must come into the open then. If the mouth has fallen sourly yours the blame: all the meannesses your youth concealed have been gathering in your face. But the pretty thoughts and sweet ways and dear, forgotten kindnesses linger there also, to bloom in your twilight like evening primroses.Is it not strange that, though I talk thus plainly to David about his mother, he still seems to think me fond of her? How now, I reflect, what sort of bumpkin is this, and perhaps I say to him cruelly: "Boy, you are uncommonly like your mother."To which David: "Is that why you are so kind to me?"I suppose I am kind to him, but if so it is not for love of his mother, but because he sometimes calls me father. On my honour as a soldier, there is nothing more in it 6than that. I must not let him know this, for it would make him conscious, and so break the spell that binds him and me together. Oftenest I am but Captain W-- to him, and for the best of reasons. He addresses me as father when he is in a hurry only, and never have I dared ask him to use the name. He says, "Come, father," with an accursed beautiful carelessness. So let it be, David, for a little while longer.I like to hear him say it before others, as in shops. When in shops he asks the salesman how much money he makes in a day, and which drawer he keeps it in, and why his hair is red, and does he like Achilles, of whom David has lately heard, and is so enamoured that he wants to die to meet him. At such times the shopkeepers accept me as his father, and I cannot explain the peculiar pleasure this gives me. I am always in two minds then, to linger that we may have more of it, and to snatch him away before he volunteers the information, "He is not really my father."When David meets Achilles I know what will happen. The little boy will take the hero by the hand, call him father, and drag him away to some Round Pond.
