They were crowding round the house, as if curious to see what was to take place there, but she did not notice this, nor that one or two of the smaller ones winked at her. Yet a nameless fear clutched at her heart and made her cry, 'Oh, how I wish that I wasn't going to a party to night!' THEY WERE CROWDING ROUND THE HOUSE AS IF CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT WAS TO TAKE PLACE THERE BUT SHE DID NOT NOTICE THIS NOR THAT ONE OR TWO OF THE SMALLER ONES WINKED AT HER YET A NAMELESS FARE CLUTCHED AT HER HEART AND MADE HER CRY OH HOW I WISH THAT I WASN'T GOING TO A PARTY TO NIGHT

Mrs. Darling quivered and went to the window. It was securely fastened. She looked out, and the night was peppered with stars.
