    "How far back can you remember?"  Peter swallowed. "I was cold, alone. . . ." He stopped, angry now. "I can't remember! No one knows where I came from! You told me I was a foundling!"  "I found you," Wendy cut him short. "I did." She took a deep breath to steady heerself. "Peter, you must listen to me now. And believe. You and I played together as children. We had wonderful adventures together. We laughed, we cried." She paused. "And we flew."  Peter tried unsuccessfully to pull away. Something unpleasant was stirring inside him, something beyond the reach of his memory.  Granny Wendy bent close, her face only inches from his own. "The stories are true. I swear to you. I swear it by everything I adore. Peter -- don't you realize who you are?"  She released him then and pried open the book from between his fingers. She paged through it desperately and stopped. She tapped the page.  Peter Banning looked down. The book lay open to an illustration of Peter Pan, legs spread, hands on hips, head cocked back as he prepared to crow. . . .
