Note
One spelling does two jobs, as with any regular verb: the plain past (she wandered off) and the participle that follows have (she had wandered off). Every sense of wander is intransitive, whether roaming, straying from a course, or a mind drifting from its point. So the participle pairs with have rather than forming a passive with be: a mind has wandered, but nothing is wandered by anyone.
