Michael believed longer than the other boys, though they jeered at him; so he was with Wendy when Peter came for her at the end of the first year. She flew away with Peter in the frock she had woven from leaves and berries in the Neverland, and her one fear was that he might notice how short it had become; but he never noticed, he had so much to say about himself. She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times, but new adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind.

k Mrs. Darling's kiss with him. The kiss that had been for no one else Peter took quite easily. Funny. But she seemed satisfied. Of course all the boys went to school; and most of them got into Class III., but Slightly was put first into Class IV. and then into Class V. Class I. is the top class. Before they had attended school a week they saw what goats they had been not to remain on the island; but it was too late now, and soon they settled down to being as ordinary as you or me or Jenkins minor. It is sad to have to say that the power to fly gradually left them. At first Nana tied their feet to the bed-posts so that they should not fly away in the night; and one of their diversions by day was to pretend to fall off 'buses; but by and by they ceased to tug at their bonds in bed, and found that they hurt themselves when they let go of the 'bus. In time they could not even fly after their hats. Want of practice, they called it; but what it really meant was that they no longer believed. WAY AGAIN HE TOOK MISSUS DARLING'S KISS WITH HIM THE KISS THAT HAD BEEN FOR NO ONE ELSE PETER TOOK QUITE EASILY FUNNY BUT SHE SEEMED SATISFIED OF COURSE ALL THE BOYS WENT TO SCHOOL AND MOST OF THEM GOT INTO CLASS THREE BUT SLIGHTLY WAS PUT FIRST INTO CLASS FOUR AND THEN INTO CLASS FIVE CLASS ONE IS THE TOP CLASS BEFORE THEY HAD ATTENDED SCHOOL A WEEK THEY SAW WHAT GOATS THEY HAD BEEN NOT TO REMAIN ON THE ISLAND BUT IT WAS TOO LATE NOW AND SOON THEY SETTLED DOWN TO BEING AS ORDINARY AS YOU OR ME OR JENKINS MINOR IT IS SAD TO HAVE TO SAY THAT THE POWDER FLY GRADUALLY LEFT THEM AT FIRST NANA TIED THEIR FEET TO THE BED POSTS SO THAT THEY SHOULD NOT FLY AWAY IN THE NIGHT AND ONE OF THEIR DIVERSIONS BY DAY WAS TO PRETEND TO FALL OFF BUSES BUT BY AND BY THEY CEASED TO TUG AT THEIR BONDS IN BED AND FOUND THAT THEY HURT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY LET GO OF THE BUS IN TIME THEY COULD NOT EVEN FLY AFTER THEIR HATS WANT OF PRACTICE THEY CALLED IT BUT WHAT IT REALLY MEANT WAS THAT THEY NO LONGER BELIEVED
