He did this because there is a saying in the Neverland that , every time you breathe , a grown-up dies ; and Peter was killing them off vindictively as fast as possible . Then having given the necessary instructions to the redskins he returned to the home , where an unworthy scene had been enacted in his absence . Panic-stricken at the thought of losing Wendy the lost boys had advanced upon her threateningly . `` It will be worse than before she came , '' they cried . `` We sha n't let her go . '' `` Let 's keep her prisoner . '' `` Ay , chain her up . '' In her extremity an instinct told her to which of them to turn . `` Tootles , '' she cried , `` I appeal to you . '' Was it not strange ? She appealed to Tootles , quite the silliest one . Grandly , however , did Tootles respond . For that one moment he dropped his silliness and spoke with dignity . `` I am just Tootles , '' he said , `` and nobody minds me . But the first who does not behave to Wendy like an English gentleman I will blood him severely . '' He drew back his hanger ; and for that instant his sun was at noon . The others held back uneasily . Then Peter returned , and they saw at once that they would get no support from him . He would keep no girl in the Neverland against her will . `` Wendy , '' he said , striding up and down , `` I have asked the redskins to guide you through the wood , as flying tires you so . ''
`` Thank you , XXXXX . ''
