They were all delighted. 'Quick,' he ordered them, 'bring me each of you the best of what we have. Gut our house. Be sharp.' In a moment they were as busy as tailors the night before a wedding. They skurried this way and that, down for bedding, up for firewood, and while they were at it, who should appear but John and Michael. As they dragged along the ground they fell asleep standing, stopped, woke up, moved another step and slept again.

Oh dear no, never wanted to pinch her so much. Fairies indeed are strange, and Peter, who understood them best, often cuffed them. But what to do with Wendy in her present delicate state of health? 'Let us carry her down into the house,' Curly suggested. 'Ay,' said Slightly, 'that is what one does with ladies.' 'No, no,' Peter said, 'you must not touch her. It would not be sufficiently respectful.' 'That,' said Slightly, 'is what I was thinking.' 'But if she lies there,' Tootles said, 'she will die.' 'Ay, she will die,' Slightly admitted, 'but there is no way out.' 'Yes, there is,' cried Peter. 'Let us build a little house round her.
