[Sca-cooks] Silly season

[Johnna Holloway]

In 1921 Michael, one of the Llewelyn Davies boys, whom Barrie had come 
to regard as his sons, died unexpectedly and in mysterious circumstances.
This was a drowning.
Peter died in 1960 of suicide when he was 63. He'd become an alcoholic 
and was gravely ill at the time.
George was killed at 21 in the trenches in 1915.
Jack died in 1959.
Nicholas or Nico died in 1980 at age 77.
