And there never was a more humble man than the once proud George Darling, as he sat in the kennel of an evening talking with his wife of their children and all their pretty ways. AND THERE NEVER WAS A MORE HUMBLE MAN THAN THE ONCE PROUD GEORGE DARLING AS HE SAT IN THE KENNEL OF AN EVENING TALKING WITH HIS WIFE OF THEIR CHILDREN AND ALL THEIR PRETTY WAYS
ange to be seen in the night-nursery is that between nine and six the kennel is no longer there. When the children flew away, Mr. Darling felt in his bones that all the blame was his for having chained Nana up, and that from first to last she had been wiser than he. Of course, as we have seen, he was quite a simple man; indeed he might have passed for a boy again if he had been able to take his baldness off; but he had also a noble sense of justice and a lion courage to do what seemed right to him; and having thought the matter out with anxious care after the flight of the children, he went down on all fours and crawled into the kennel. To all Mrs. Darling's dear invitations to him to come out he replied sadly but firmly: 'No, my own one, this is the place for me.' In the bitterness of his remorse he swore that he would never leave the kennel until his children came back. Of course this was a pity; but whatever Mr. Darling did he had to do in excess; otherwise he soon gave up doing it. T THE ONLY CHANGE TO BE SEEN IN THE NIGHT NURSERY IS THAT BETWEEN NINE AND SIX THE KENNEL IS NO LONGER THERE WHEN THE CHILDREN FLEW AWAY MISTER DARLING FELT IN HIS BONES THAT ALL THE BLAME WAS HIS FOR HAVING CHAINED NANA UP AND THAT FROM FIRST TO LAST SHE HAD BEEN WISER THAN HE OF COURSE AS WE HAVE SEEN HE WAS QUITE A SIMPLE MAN INDEED HE MIGHT HAVE PASSED FOR A BOY AGAIN IF HE HAD BEEN ABLE TO TAKE HIS BALDNESS OFF BUT HE ALSO HAD A NOBLE SENSE OF JUSTICE AND A LION COURAGE TO DO WHAT SEEMED RIGHT TO HIM AND HAVING THOUGHT THE MATTER OUT WITH ANXIOUS CARE AFTER THE FLIGHT OF THE CHILDREN HE WENT DOWN ON ALL FOURS AND CRAWLED INTO THE KENNEL TO ALL MISSUS DARLING'S DEAR INVITATIONS TO HIM TO COME OUT HE REPLIED SADLY BUT FIRMLY NO MY OWN ONE THIS IS THE PLACE FOR ME IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS REMORSE HE SWORE THAT HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE KENNEL UNTIL HIS CHILDREN CAME BACK OF COURSE THIS WAS A PITY BUT WHATEVER MISTER DARLING DID HE HAD TO DO AN EXCESS OTHERWISE HE SOON GAVE UP DOING IT
