Usually it is done quite easily, as by your wearing too many garments or too few; but if you are bumpy in awkward places or the only available tree is an odd shape, Peter does some things to you, and after that you fit. USUALLY IT IS DONE QUITE EASILY AS BY YOUR WEARING TOO MANY GARMENTS OR TOO FEW BUT IF YOU ARE BUMPY IN AWKWARD PLACES OR THE ONLY AVAILABLE TREE IS AN ODD SHAPE PETER DOES SOME THINGS TO YOU AND AFTER THAT YOU FIT
ght they would have mischiefed, but they just tweaked Peter's nose and passed on. [Illustration: PETER ON GUARD] CHAPTER VII THE HOME UNDER THE GROUND One of the first things Peter did next day was to measure Wendy and John and Michael for hollow trees. Hook, you remember, had sneered at the boys for thinking they needed a tree apiece, but this was ignorance, for unless your tree fitted you it was difficult to go up and down, and no two of the boys were quite the same size. Once you fitted, you drew in your breath at the top, and down you went at exactly the right speed, while to ascend you drew in and let out alternately, and so wriggled up. Of course, when you have mastered the action you are able to do these things without thinking of them, and then nothing can be more graceful. But you simply must fit, and Peter measures you for your tree as carefully as for a suit of clothes: the only difference being that the clothes are made to fit you, while you have to be made to fit the tree.
