` Lot of little boys , ' sneered Liza . ` There were several adults to-day , ' he assured her with a faint flush ; but when she tossed her head he had not a word of reproof for her . Social success had not spoilt him ; it had made him sweeter . For some time he sat half out of the kennel , talking with Mrs. Darling of this success , and pressing her hand reassuringly when she said she hoped his head would not be turned by it . ` But if I had been a weak man , ' he said . ` 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 XXXXX the ship ; but something must have happened since then , for it is not they who have flown in , it is Peter and Tinker Bell .
