So I ran away to Kensington Gardens and lived a long long time among the fairies . ' She gave him a look of the most intense admiration , and he thought it was because he had run away , but it was really because he knew fairies . Wendy had lived such a home life that to know fairies struck her as quite delightful . She poured out questions about them , to his surprise , for they were rather a nuisance to him , getting in his way and so on , and indeed he sometimes had to give them a hiding . Still , he liked them on the whole , and he told her about the beginning of fairies . ` You see , Wendy , when the first baby laughed for the first time , its laugh broke into a thousand pieces , and they all went skipping about , and that was the beginning of fairies . ' Tedious talk this , but being a stay-at-home she liked it . ` And so , ' he went on good-naturedly , ` there ought to be one fairy for every boy and girl . ' ` Ought to be ? Is n't there ? ' ` No . You see children know such a lot now , they soon do n't believe in fairies , and every time a child says , ' I do n't believe in fairies , ' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead . Really , he thought they had now talked enough about fairies , and it struck him that Tinker Bell was keeping very quiet . ' I ca n't think where she has gone to , ' he said , rising , and he called Tink by name . Wendy 's heart went flutter with a sudden thrill . ` Peter , ' she cried , clutching him , ` you do n't mean to tell me that there is a fairy in this room ! ' ` She was here just now , ' he said a little impatiently . ` You do n't hear her , do you ? ' and they both listened . ` The only sound I hear , ' said Wendy , ` is like a tinkle of bells . '
` Well , that 's XXXXX , that 's the fairy language .
