I think that George and Lydia are to blame. early on in the story, the parents were telling the children that they were gonna turn off the house for some time. Wendy was still crying and Peter joined her again. "Just a moment, just one moment, just another moment of nursery," they wailed. "Oh, George," said the wife, "it can 't hurt.

Then they planned to they turned everything off for some time. . Later on in the story the parents were talking but it wasn 't too long after they let them go back into the nursery. "Did you leave them in the nursery?" "I wanted to dress too. Oh, that horrid Africa. What can they see in it?" "Well, in five minutes we 'll be on our way to Iowa.
