Chapter 2: Ms. Wendy

Terri was dragged into the large sitting room, a place that was only used if there were special visitors at the DHSG. All the way to the sitting room Terri had been thinking about this Ms. Wendy person. She was probably some stylish young woman who brought the little kids presents, which was probably why Camille seemed to like her so much. So Terri was very surprised to see an elderly lady sitting in the sitting room.

"Camille," Terri leaned close to Camille's ear, "is that Ms. Wendy?" She pointed at the woman.

"Yes," came the reply.

"Oh. Well what does she do when she comes for a visit?" Terri asked.

"She tells us stories, of course," Camille acted like that was the most obvious thing in the world.

"About...?" Terri inquired.

"Shhh!" Camille hissed. "She's going to start!"

Sure enough, the DHSG staff was closing the sitting room doors and walking around to quiet the children. One small child, however, got away and ran to Ms. Wendy.

"Ms. Wendy, Ms. Wendy!" the boy called.

"Why, hello there Adam!" Ms. Wendy said as she hoisted the boy into her lap. She had the perfect voice for storytelling. Despite herself, Terri couldn't wait to hear this woman's story. "I see we have a new face in the crowd, next to Camille," Ms. Wendy said, looking right at Terri. Terri felt her face grow hot. "And your name is...?" Ms. Wendy continued.

"T-Terri." How could she slip up on her own name?

"Terri," Ms. Wendy repeated. "When did you come to the Darling Home and School for Girls?" Before Terri could respond, Ms. Wendy looked about her and said, "Oh, children! How could I be making small talk when there is a story to be told?" She then looked back at Terri and said, "Terri, we'll talk later."

Ms. Wendy looked at the ceiling, thinking hard. "I think today I will tell the story of," her magical gaze settled on Terri again, "Peter Pan."
