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. 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
atter? Do go back and keep an eye on the children.' So long as mothers are like this their children will take advantage of them; and they may lay to that. Even now we venture into that familiar nursery only because its lawful occupants are on their way home; we are merely hurrying on in advance 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.  BE SILLY WHAT DO I MATTER DO GO BACK AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE CHILDREN SO LONG AS MOTHERS ARE LIKE THIS THEIR CHILDREN WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM AND THEY MAY LAY TO THAT EVEN NOW WE VENTURE INTO THAT FAMILIAR NURSERY ONLY BECAUSE ITS LAWFUL OCCUPANTS ARE ON THEIR WAY HOME WE ARE MERELY HURRYING 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
