She was quite the ordinary kind in the daytime . -LSB- Illustration : Peter Pan is the fairies ' orchestra -RSB- But as the shades of night fell , Tony , the swaggerer , lost his contempt for Maimie and eyed her fearfully ; and no wonder , for with dark there came into her face a look that I can describe only as a leary look . It was also a serene look that contrasted grandly with Tony 's uneasy glances . Then he would make her presents of his favourite toys -LRB- which he always took away from her next morning -RRB- , and she accepted them with a disturbing smile . The reason he was now become so wheedling and she so mysterious was -LRB- in brief -RRB- that they knew they were about to be sent to bed . It was then that Maimie was terrible . Tony entreated her not to do it to-night , and the mother and their coloured nurse threatened her , but Maimie merely smiled her agitating smile . And by and by when they were alone with their night-light she would start up in bed crying ` Hsh ! what was that ? ' Tony beseeches her , ` It was nothing -- do n't , Maimie , do n't ! ' and pulls the sheet over his head . ` It is coming nearer ! ' she cries . ` Oh , look at it , Tony ! It is feeling your bed with its horns -- it is boring for you , O Tony , oh ! ' and she desists not until he rushes downstairs in his combinations , screeching . When they came up to whip Maimie they usually found her sleeping tranquilly -- not shamming , you know , but really sleeping , and looking like the sweetest little angel , which seems to me to make it almost worse . But of course it was daytime when they were in the Gardens , and then Tony did most of the talking . You could gather from his talk that he was a very brave boy , and no one was so proud of it as Maimie . She would have loved to have a ticket on her saying that she was his sister .
And at no time did she admire him more than when he told her , as he often did with splendid firmness , that one day he meant to remain behind in the XXXXX after the gates were closed . '
