She meant that he was her size in both mind and body ; she did n't know how she knew it , she just knew it . Mrs. Darling consulted Mr. Darling , but he smiled pooh-pooh . ` Mark my words , ' he said , ` it is some nonsense Nana has been putting into their heads ; just the sort of idea a dog would have . Leave it alone , and it will blow over . ' But it would not blow over ; and soon the troublesome boy gave Mrs. Darling quite a shock . Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them . For instance , they may remember to mention , a week after the event happened , that when they were in the wood they met their dead father and had a game with him . It was in this casual way that Wendy one morning made a disquieting revelation . Some leaves of a tree had been found on the nursery floor , which certainly were not there when the children went to bed , and Mrs. Darling was puzzling over them when Wendy said with a tolerant smile : ' I do believe it is that Peter again ! ' ` Whatever do you mean , Wendy ? ' ` It is so naughty of him not to wipe , ' Wendy said , sighing . She was a tidy child . She explained in quite a matter-of-fact way that she thought Peter sometimes came to the nursery in the night and sat on the foot of her bed and played on his pipes to her . Unfortunately she never woke , so she did n't know how she knew , she just knew . ` What nonsense you talk , precious . No one can get into the house without knocking . ' ' I think he comes in by the window , ' she said . ` My love , it is three floors up . ' ` Were not the leaves at the foot of the window , mother ? ' It was quite true ; the leaves had been found very near the window .
Mrs. Darling did not know what to think , for it all seemed so natural to XXXXX that you could not dismiss it by saying she had been dreaming .
