He had a bow and arrow with him , and Tink noted it , and rubbed her little hands . ` Quick , Tootles , quick , ' she screamed . ` Peter will be so pleased . ' Tootles excitedly fitted the arrow to his bow . ` Out of the way , Tink , ' he shouted ; and then he fired , and Wendy fluttered to the ground with an arrow in her breast . CHAPTER VI THE LITTLE HOUSE Foolish Tootles was standing like a conqueror over Wendy 's body when the other boys sprang , armed , from their trees . ` You are too late , ' he cried proudly , ' I have shot the Wendy . Peter will be so pleased with me . ' Overhead Tinker Bell shouted ` Silly ass ! ' and darted into hiding . The others did not hear her . They had crowded round Wendy , and as they looked a terrible silence fell upon the wood . If Wendy 's heart had been beating they would all have heard it . Slightly was the first to speak . ` This is no bird , ' he said in a scared voice . ' I think it must be a lady . ' ' A lady ? ' said Tootles , and fell a-trembling . ` And we have killed her , ' Nibs said hoarsely . They all whipped off their caps .
` Now I see , ' Curly said ; ` XXXXX was bringing her to us . '
