Oh, we do need a pretend mother though. Wendy plays it so seriously that it isn't fun, sometimes.

If you come away with me then your sister could take care of your brothers, Susan. I'll show you such magical creatures, they all know me. I will take all the children here who don't want to be told what to do and give them somewhere safe to live and play. You would be the lady of the house. I would never let anyone say a word against you.
