He did not know the tune, which was 'Home, Sweet Home,' but he knew it was saying, 'Come back, Wendy, Wendy, Wendy'; and he cried exultantly, 'You will never see Wendy again, lady, for the window is barred.' HE DID NOT KNOW THE TUNE WHICH WAS HOME SWEET HOME BUT HE KNEW WHAT WAS SAYING COME BACK WENDY WENDY WENDY AND HE CRIED EXULTANTLY YOU WILL NEVER SEE WENDY AGAIN LADY FOR THE WINDOW IS BARRED
ed by them before we left the ship; but something must have happened since then, for it is not they who have flown in, it is Peter and Tinker Bell. Peter's first words tell all. 'Quick, Tink,' he whispered, 'close the window; bar it. That's right. Now you and I must get away by the door; and when Wendy comes she will think her mother has barred her out; and she will have to go back with me.' Now I understand what had hitherto puzzled me, why when Peter had exterminated the pirates he did not return to the island and leave Tink to escort the children to the mainland. This trick had been in his head all the time. Instead of feeling that he was behaving badly he danced with glee; then he peeped into the day-nursery to see who was playing. He whispered to Tink, 'It's Wendy's mother. She is a pretty lady, but not so pretty as my mother. Her mouth is full of thimbles, but not so full as my mother's was.' Of course he knew nothing whatever about his mother; but he sometimes bragged about her. THE CHARMING ARRANGEMENT PLANNED BY THEM BEFORE WE LEFT THE SHIP BUT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN FOR IT IS NOT THEY WHO HAVE FLOWN IN IT IS PETER AND TINKER BELL PETER'S FIRST WORDS TELL ALL QUICK TINK HE WHISPERED CLOSE THE WINDOW BAR IT THAT'S RIGHT NOW YOU AND I MUST GET AWAY BY THE DOOR AND WHEN WENDY COMES IN SHE WILL THINK HER MOTHER HAS BOUGHT HER OUT AND SHE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK WITH ME NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HITHERTO PUZZLED ME WHY WHEN PETER HAD EXTERMINATED THE PIRATES HE DID NOT RETURN TO THE ISLAND AND LEAVE TINK TO ESCORT THE CHILDREN TO THE MAINLAND THIS TRICK HAD BEEN IN HIS HEAD ALL THE TIME INSTEAD OF FEELING THAT HE WAS BEHAVING BADLY HE DANCED WITH GLEE THEN HE PEEPED INTO THE DAY NURSERY TO SEE WHO WAS PLAYING HE WHISPERED TO TINK IT'S WENDY'S MOTHER SHE IS A PRETTY LADY BUT NOT SO PRETTY AS MY MOTHER HER MOUTH IS FULL OF THIMBLES BUT NOT SO FULL AS MY MOTHER'S WAS OF COURSE HE KNEW NOTHING WHATEVER ABOUT HIS MOTHER BUT HE SOMETIMES BRAGGED ABOUT HER
