'O Nana, I dreamt my dear ones had come back.' Nana had filmy eyes, but all she could do was to put her paw gently on her mistress's lap; and they were sitting together thus when the kennel was brought back. As Mr. Darling puts his head out at it to kiss his wife, we see that his face is more worn than of yore, but has a softer expression. He gave his hat to Liza, who took it scornfully; for she had no imagination, and was quite incapable of understanding the motives of such a man. OH NANA I DREAMT MY DEAR ONCE IT COME BACK NANA HAD FILMY EYES BUT ALL SHE COULD DO WAS TO PUT HER PAW GENTLY ON HER MISTRESS'S LAP AND THEY WERE SITTING TOGETHER THUS WHEN THE KENNEL WAS BROUGHT BACK AS MISTER DARLING PUTS HIS HEAD OUT AT IT TO KISS HIS WIFE WE SEE THAT HIS FACE IS MORE WORN THAN OF YOUR BUT HAS A SOFTER EXPRESSION HE GAVE HIS HAT TO LIZA WHO TOOK IT SCORNFULLY FOR SHE HAD NO IMAGINATION AND WAS QUITE INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING THE MOTIVES OF SUCH A MAN
 come in the kennel.' On that eventful Thursday week Mrs. Darling was in the night-nursery awaiting George's return home: a very sad-eyed woman. Now that we look at her closely and remember the gaiety of her in the old days, all gone now just because she has lost her babes, I find I won't be able to say nasty things about her after all. If she was too fond of her rubbishy children she couldn't help it. Look at her in her chair, where she has fallen asleep. The corner of her mouth, where one looks first, is almost withered up. Her hand moves restlessly on her breast as if she had a pain there. Some like Peter best and some like Wendy best, but I like her best. Suppose, to make her happy, we whisper to her in her sleep that the brats are coming back. They are really within two miles of the window now, and flying strong, but all we need whisper is that they are on the way. Let's. It is a pity we did it, for she has started up, calling their names; and there is no one in the room but Nana.
