She knew it was useless to say that he had let many spring-cleaning times pass. 'I can't come,' she said apologetically, 'I have forgotten how to fly.' 'I'll soon teach you again.' 'O Peter, don't waste the fairy dust on me.' She had risen; and now at last a fear assailed him. 'What is it?' he cried, shrinking. 'I will turn up the light,' she said, 'and then you can see for yourself.' For almost the only time in his life that I know of, Peter was afraid. 'Don't turn up the light,' he cried. She let her hands play in the hair of the tragic boy. She was not a little girl heart-broken about him; she was a grown woman smiling at it all, but they were wet smiles.
