Such a deliciously creepy song it was, in which they pretended to be frightened at their own shadows, little witting that so soon shadows would close in upon them, from whom they would shrink in real fear. So uproariously gay was the dance, and how they buffeted each other on the bed and out of it! It was a pillow fight rather than a dance, and when it was finished, the pillows insisted on one bout more, like partners who know that they may never meet again.

Best J M Barrie Quotes By J.M. Barrie

As for their houses, it is no use looking for them, because they are the exact opposite of our houses. You can see our houses by day but you can't see them by dark.

The palace is entirely built of many-coloured glasses, and is quite the loveliest of all royal residences, — J.M. Barrie

But where do you live mostly now?"
With the lost boys."
Who are they?"

What fun it must be!"
