` Good heavens , if I had been a weak man ! ' ` And , George , ' she said timidly , ` you are as full of remorse as ever , are n't you ? ' ` Full of remorse as ever , dearest ! See my punishment : living in a kennel . ' ` But it is punishment , is n't it , George ? You are sure you are not enjoying it ? ' ` My love ! ' You may be sure she begged his pardon ; and then , feeling drowsy , he curled round in the kennel . ` Wo n't you play me to sleep , ' he asked , ` on the nursery piano ? ' and as she was crossing to the day nursery he added thoughtlessly , ` And shut that window . I feel a draught . ' ' O George , never ask me to do that . The window must always be left open for them , always , always . ' Now it was his turn to beg her pardon ; and she went into the day nursery and played , and soon he was asleep ; and while he slept , Wendy and John and Michael flew into the room . Oh no . We have written it so , because that was 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 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 XXXXX had exterminated the pirates he did not return to the island and leave Tink to escort the children to the mainland .
