Chapter 30 - PL OK, but I don't get it. Were they birds?

Hi Tricia,

I didn't get it either. I tried to find a reference to "waits" for this chapter online and didn't find anything.

Two chapters are reopened.

Barrie was a funny fellow, apparently. But this mystery is partially solved by a passage in his "The Greenwood Hat,' a kind of autobiography that Barrie wrote for friends, and later published. In the "Hat,' Barrie capitalizes 'waits,' making them people (perhaps.) He jokes that someone took him at his word that he had murdered them.

https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20190440/html.php

"More severe language was used about another in which Anon [Barrie] described himself as having been so pestered by the Waits that he buried them in Brunswick Square. One of the letters passed on by Greenwood to the author said of this, ‘The most cold-blooded murder I ever read about, and the writer shows no contrition.’ There were many such criticisms, and Greenwood maintained that every outraged reader represented at least a dozen more."
