Peter Pan, or the boy who wouldn't grow up - a long running, immensely popular play by JM Barrie, was at The Duke of York's Theatre. Avice has been to see it, again, and loved it.It is January 1908 and Frances reads letters from Edmund, Avice, Enid, Bernard and Cuthbert.The discussion on nightshirts versus pyjamas continues; Edmund has a new job – curate in charge of St Bartholemew’s, Hallam Fields, in Derbyshire. (He will stay at the same church from 1908 -1950s.) And Edmund and May can finally afford to get married after years of engagement. Enid describes Cyril's photography and Magic Lantern and Bernard begins his letter by writing down the beginning of several other letters – many begin with a sigh or an excuse – embarrassing his siblings.
