How delicious to spoil it all by breaking the news in advance; so that when they enter grandly Mrs. Darling may not even offer Wendy her mouth, and Mr. Darling may exclaim pettishly, 'Dash it all, here are those boys again.' HOW DELICIOUS TO SPOIL IT ALL BY BREAKING THE NEWS IN ADVANCE SO THAT WHEN THEY ENTER GRANDLY MISSUS DARLING MAY NOT EVEN OFFER WENDY HER MOUTH AND MISTER DARLING MAY EXCLAIM PETTISHLY DASH IT OLD HERE ARE THOSE BOYS AGAIN
of them to see that their beds are properly aired and that Mr. and Mrs. Darling do not go out for the evening. We are no more than servants. Why on earth should their beds be properly aired, seeing that they left them in such a thankless hurry? Would it not serve them jolly well right if they came back and found that their parents were spending the week-end in the country? It would be the moral lesson they have been in need of ever since we met them; but if we contrived things in this way Mrs. Darling would never forgive us. One thing I should like to do immensely, and that is to tell her, in the way authors have, that the children are coming back, that indeed they will be here on Thursday week. This would spoil so completely the surprise to which Wendy and John and Michael are looking forward. They have been planning it out on the ship: mother's rapture, father's shout of joy, Nana's leap through the air to embrace them first, when what they ought to be preparing for is a good hiding. RYING ON IN ADVANCE OF THEM TO SEE THAT THEIR BEDS ARE PROPERLY AIRED AND THAT MISTER AND MISSUS DARLING DO NOT GO OUT FOR THE EVENING WE ARE NO MORE THAN SERVANTS WHY ON EARTH SHOULD BEDS BE PROPERLY AIRED SEEING THAT THEY LEFT THEM IN SUCH A THANKLESS HURRY WOULD IT NOT SERVE THEM JOLLY ALL RIGHT IF THEY CAME BACK AND FOUND THAT THEIR PARENTS WERE SPENDING THE WEEK END IN THE COUNTRY IT WOULD BE THE MORAL LESSON THEY HAVE BEEN IN NEED OF EVER SINCE WE MET THEM BUT IF WE CONTRIVED THINGS THIS WAY MISSUS DARLING WOULD NEVER FORGIVE US ONE THING I SHOULD LIKE TO DO IMMENSELY AND THAT IS TO TELL HER IN THE WAY AUTHORS HAVE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE COMING BACK THAT INDEED THEY WILL BE HERE ON THURSDAY WEEK THIS WOULD SPOIL SO COMPLETELY THE SURPRISE TO WHICH WENDY AND JOHN AND MICHAEL ARE LOOKING FORWARD THEY HAVE BEEN PLANNING IT OUT ON THE SHIP MOTHERS RAPTURE FATHER'S SHOUT OF JOY NANA'S LEAPED THROUGH THE AIR TO EMBRACE THEM FIRST WHEN WHAT THEY OUGHT TO BE PREPARING FOR IS A GOOD HIDING
