` Come on , father , ' said John . ` Hold your tongue , John , ' his father rapped out . Wendy was quite puzzled . ' I thought you took it quite easily , father . ' ` That is not the point , ' he retorted . ` The point is , that there is more in my glass than in Michael 's spoon . ' His proud heart was nearly bursting . ` And it is n't fair ; I would say it though it were with my last breath ; it is n't fair . ' ` Father , I am waiting , ' said Michael coldly . ` It 's all very well to say you are waiting ; so am I waiting . ' ` Father 's a cowardy custard . ' ` So are you a cowardy custard . ' ` I 'm not frightened . ' ` Neither am I frightened . ' ` Well , then , take it . ' ` Well , then , you take it . ' Wendy had a splendid idea . ` Why not both take it at the same time ? ' ` Certainly , ' said Mr. Darling . ` Are you ready , Michael ? '
Wendy gave the words , one , two , three , and XXXXX took his medicine , but Mr. Darling slipped his behind his back .
