The Darlings lived in a big house in (London/Washington). They (were/weren’t) an ordinary family.

One evening Mr. Darling couldn’t find his cuff-links to go out to the (cinema/theatre). (John/Wendy) remembered that they’d taken them to use as treasure in one of their games, which had been part of the story Wendy had told the boys about Peter Pan. Mr. Darling told Wendy to (stop/ continue) telling those stories. He added that it was high time (she/he) had a room of (her/his) own.
