` Let us carry her down into the house , ' Curly suggested . ` Ay , ' said Slightly , ` that is what one does with ladies . ' ` No , no , ' Peter said , ` you must not touch her . It would not be sufficiently respectful . ' ` That , ' said Slightly , ` is what I was thinking . ' ` But if she lies there , ' Tootles said , ` she will die . ' ` Ay , she will die , ' Slightly admitted , ` but there is no way out . ' ` Yes , there is , ' cried Peter . ` Let us build a little house round her . ' They were all delighted . ` Quick , ' he ordered them , ` bring me each of you the best of what we have . Gut our house . Be sharp . ' In a moment they were as busy as tailors the night before a wedding . They skurried this way and that , down for bedding , up for firewood , and while they were at it , who should appear but John and Michael . As they dragged along the ground they fell asleep standing , stopped , woke up , moved another step and slept again . ` John , John , ' Michael would cry , ` wake up . Where is Nana , John , and mother ? ' And then John would rub his eyes and mutter , ` It is true , we did fly . ' You may be sure they were very relieved to find Peter .
` Hullo , XXXXX , ' they said .
