` With Tink in the house we built for Wendy . The fairies are to put it high up among the tree tops where they sleep at nights . ' ` How lovely , ' cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip . ' I thought all the fairies were dead , ' Mrs. Darling said . ` There are always a lot of young ones , ' explained Wendy , who was now quite an authority , ` because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born , and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies . They live in nests on the tops of trees ; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls , and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are . ' ' I shall have such fun , ' said Peter , with one eye on Wendy . ` It will be rather lonely in the evening , ' she said , ` sitting by the fire . ' ' I shall have Tink . ' ` Tink ca n't go a twentieth part of the way round , ' she reminded him a little tartly . ` Sneaky tell-tale ! ' Tink called out from somewhere round the corner . ` It does n't matter , ' Peter said . ' O Peter , you know it matters . ' ` Well , then , come with me to the little house . ' ` May I , mummy ? ' ` Certainly not . I have got you home again , and I mean to keep you . ' ` But he does so need a mother . ' ` So do you , my love . '
` Oh , all right , ' Peter said , as if he had asked her from politeness merely ; but Mrs. Darling saw his mouth twitch , and she made this handsome offer : to let XXXXX go to him for a week every year to do his spring cleaning .
