# Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 30

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
“Mumps one pound, that is what I have put down, but I daresay it will be more like thirty shillings—don’t speak—measles one five, German measles half a guinea, makes two fifteen six—don’t waggle your finger—whooping-cough, say fifteen shillings”—and so on it went, and it added up differently each time; but at last Wendy just got through, with mumps reduced to twelve six, and the two kinds of measles treated as one.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** that, eighteen · **What happens:** mump, be, put down, daresay, not speak, make · **To what, where:** one pound, measles, two, finger, fifteen shillings, mumps · **Speech:** someone speaks here
