Peter Pan — Page 3
She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again.
Sie wollte es riskieren, komme was wolle, aber das war nicht seine Art; seine Art war es, mit einem Bleistift und einem Stück Papier zu arbeiten, und wenn sie ihn mit Vorschlägen durcheinanderbrachte, musste er wieder von vorne anfangen.
But she was prejudiced in Wendy's favour, and he was really the grander character of the two.
Aber sie war zugunsten von Wendy voreingenommen, und er war wirklich der großartigere Charakter von beiden.
