They took it for granted that if they went he would go also , but really they scarcely cared . Thus children are ever ready , when novelty knocks , to desert their dearest ones . ` All right , ' Peter replied with a bitter smile ; and immediately they rushed to get their things . ` And now , Peter , ' Wendy said , thinking she had put everything right , ' I am going to give you your medicine before you go . ' She loved to give them medicine , and undoubtedly gave them too much . Of course it was only water , but it was out of a calabash , and she always shook the calabash and counted the drops , which gave it a certain medicinal quality . On this occasion , however , she did not give Peter his draught , for just as she had prepared it , she saw a look on his face that made her heart sink . ` Get your things , Peter , ' she cried , shaking . ` No , ' he answered , pretending indifference , ' I am not going with you , Wendy . ' ` Yes , Peter . ' ` No . ' To show that her departure would leave him unmoved , he skipped up and down the room , playing gaily on his heartless pipes . She had to run about after him , though it was rather undignified . ` To find your mother , ' she coaxed . Now , if Peter had ever quite had a mother , he no longer missed her . He could do very well without one . He had thought them out , and remembered only their bad points . ` No , no , ' he told Wendy decisively ; ` perhaps she would say I was old , and I just want always to be a little boy and to have fun . ' ` But , Peter -- ' ` No . ' And so the others had to be told .
` XXXXX is n't coming . '
