In time they could not even fly after their hats . Want of practice , they called it ; but what it really meant was that they no longer believed . Michael believed longer than the other boys , though they jeered at him ; so he was with Wendy when Peter came for her at the end of the first year . She flew away with Peter in the frock she had woven from leaves and berries in the Neverland , and her one fear was that he might notice how short it had become ; but he never noticed , he had so much to say about himself . She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times , but new adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind . `` Who is Captain Hook ? '' he asked with interest when she spoke of the arch enemy . `` Do n't you remember , '' she asked , amazed , `` how you killed him and saved all our lives ? '' `` I forget them after I kill them , '' he replied carelessly . When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her he said , `` Who is Tinker Bell ? '' `` O Peter , '' she said , shocked ; but even when she explained he could not remember . `` There are such a lot of them , '' he said . `` I expect she is no more . '' I expect he was right , for fairies do n't live long , but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them . Wendy was pained too to find that the past year was but as yesterday to Peter ; it had seemed such a long year of waiting to her . But he was exactly as fascinating as ever , and they had a lovely spring cleaning in the little house on the tree tops . Next year he did not come for her . She waited in a new frock because the old one simply would not meet ; but he never came . `` Perhaps he is ill , '' Michael said . `` You know he is never ill . ''
XXXXX came close to her and whispered , with a shiver , `` Perhaps there is no such person , Wendy ! ''
