Not so much as a sorry-to-lose-you between them ! If she did not mind the parting , he was going to show her , was Peter , that neither did he . But of course he cared very much ; and he was so full of wrath against grown-ups , who , as usual , were spoiling everything , that as soon as he got inside his tree he breathed intentionally quick short breaths at the rate of about five to a second . He did this because there is a saying in the Neverland that , every time you breathe , a grown-up dies ; and Peter was killing them off vindictively as fast as possible . Then having given the necessary instructions to the redskins he returned to the home , where an unworthy scene had been enacted in his absence . Panic-stricken at the thought of losing Wendy the lost boys had advanced upon her threateningly . `` It will be worse than before she came , '' they cried . `` We sha n't let her go . '' `` Let 's keep her prisoner . '' `` Ay , chain her up . '' In her extremity an instinct told her to which of them to turn . `` Tootles , '' she cried , `` I appeal to you . '' Was it not strange ? She appealed to Tootles , quite the silliest one . Grandly , however , did Tootles respond . For that one moment he dropped his silliness and spoke with dignity . `` I am just Tootles , '' he said , `` and nobody minds me . But the first who does not behave to Wendy like an English gentleman I will blood him severely . '' He drew back his hanger ; and for that instant his sun was at noon . The others held back uneasily .
Then XXXXX returned , and they saw at once that they would get no support from him .
