Usually when she began to tell this story he left the room or put his hands over his ears; and possibly if he had done either of those things this time they might all still be on the island. USUALLY WHEN SHE BEGAN TO TELL THIS STORY HE LEFT THE ROOM OR PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS EARS AND POSSIBLY IF HE HAD DONE EITHER OF THOSE THINGS THIS TIME THEY MIGHT ALL STILL BE ON THE ISLAND
it was to be their last hour on the island, let us rejoice that there were sixty glad minutes in it. They sang and danced in their night-gowns. Such a deliciously creepy song it was, in which they pretended to be frightened at their own shadows; little witting that so soon shadows would close in upon them, from whom they would shrink in real fear. So uproariously gay was the dance, and how they buffeted each other on the bed and out of it! It was a pillow fight rather than a dance, and when it was finished, the pillows insisted on one bout more, like partners who know that they may never meet again. The stories they told, before it was time for Wendy's good-night story! Even Slightly tried to tell a story that night, but the beginning was so fearfully dull that it appalled even himself, and he said gloomily: 'Yes, it is a dull beginning. I say, let us pretend that it is the end.' And then at last they all got into bed for Wendy's story, the story they loved best, the story Peter hated.  ONE MORE GLAD HOUR AND AS IT WAS TO BE THEIR LAST HOUR ON THE ISLAND LET US REJOICE THAT THERE WERE SIXTY GLAD MINUTES IN IT THEY SANG AND DANCED IN THEIR NIGHT GOWNS SUCH A DELICIOUSLY CREEPY SONG IT WAS IN WHICH THEY PRETENDED TO BE FRIGHTENED AT THEIR OWN SHADOWS LITTLE WITTING THAT SO SOON SHADOWS WOULD CLOSE IN UPON THEM FROM WHOM THEY WOULD SHRINK IN REAL FEAR SO UPROARIOUSLY GAY WAS THE DANCE AND HOW THEY BUFFETED EACH OTHER ON THE BED AND OUT OF IT IT WAS A PILLOW FIGHT RATHER THAN A DANCE AND WHEN IT WAS FINISHED THE PILLOWS INSISTED ON ONE BOUT MORE LIKE PARTNERS WHO KNOW THAT THEY MAY NEVER MEET AGAIN THE STORIES THEY TOLD BEFORE IT WAS TIME FOR WENDY'S GOOD NIGHT STORY EVEN SLIGHTLY TRIED TO TELL A STORY THAT NIGHT BUT THE BEGINNING WAS SO FEARFULLY DULL THAT IT APPALLED EVEN HIMSELF AND HE SAID GLOOMILY YES IT IS A DULL BEGINNING I SAY LET US PRETEND THAT IT IS THE END AND THEN AT LAST THEY ALL GOT INTO BED FOR WENDY'S STORY THE STORY THEY LOVED BEST THE STORY PETER HATED
