He tried to argue with Tink . ` You know you ca n't be my fairy , Tink , because I am a gentleman and you are a lady . ' To this Tink replied in these words , ` You silly ass , ' and disappeared into the bathroom . ` She is quite a common fairy , ' Peter explained apologetically ; ` she is called Tinker Bell because she mends the pots and kettles . ' They were together in the armchair by this time , and Wendy plied him with more questions . ` If you do n't live in Kensington Gardens now -- ' ` Sometimes I do still . ' ` But where do you live mostly now ? ' ` With the lost boys . ' ` Who are they ? ' ` They are the children who fall out of their perambulators when the nurse is looking the other way . If they are not claimed in seven days they are sent far away to the Neverland to defray expenses . I 'm captain . ' ` What fun it must be ! ' ` Yes , ' said cunning Peter , ` but we are rather lonely . You see we have no female companionship . ' ` Are none of the others girls ? ' ` Oh no ; girls , you know , are much too clever to fall out of their prams . ' This flattered Wendy immensely . ' I think , ' she said , ` it is perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls ; John there just despises us . ' For reply Peter rose and kicked John out of bed , blankets and all ; one kick .
This seemed to XXXXX rather forward for a first meeting , and she told him with spirit that he was not captain in her house .
