Now you and I must get away by the door ; and when Wendy comes she will think her mother has barred her out ; and she will have to go back with me . ' Now I understand what had hitherto puzzled me , why when Peter had exterminated the pirates he did not return to the island and leave Tink to escort the children to the mainland . This trick had been in his head all the time . Instead of feeling that he was behaving badly he danced with glee ; then he peeped into the day-nursery to see who was playing . He whispered to Tink , ` It 's Wendy 's mother . She is a pretty lady , but not so pretty as my mother . Her mouth is full of thimbles , but not so full as my mother 's was . ' Of course he knew nothing whatever about his mother ; but he sometimes bragged about her . He did not know the tune , which was ` Home , Sweet Home , ' but he knew it was saying , ` Come back , Wendy , Wendy , Wendy ' ; and he cried exultantly , ` You will never see Wendy again , lady , for the window is barred . ' He peeped in again to see why the music had stopped ; and now he saw that Mrs. Darling had laid her head on the box , and that two tears were sitting on her eyes . ` She wants me to unbar the window , ' thought Peter , ` but I wo n't , not I. ' He peeped again , and the tears were still there , or another two had taken their place . ` She 's awfully fond of Wendy , ' he said to himself . He was angry with her now for not seeing why she could not have Wendy . The reason was so simple : ` I 'm fond of her too . We ca n't both have her , lady . ' But the lady would not make the best of it , and he was unhappy . He ceased to look at her , but even then she would not let go of him . He skipped about and made funny faces , but when he stopped it was just as if she were inside him , knocking . ` Oh , all right , ' he said at last , and gulped . Then he unbarred the window .
` Come on , XXXXX , ' he cried , with a frightful sneer at the laws of nature ; ` we do n't want any silly mothers ' ; and he flew away .
