I do just , ' said Nibs , hitting back . ` You see , ' Wendy said complacently , ` our heroine knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back by ; so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time . ' ` Did they ever go back ? ' ` Let us now , ' said Wendy , bracing herself for her finest effort , ` take a peep into the future ' ; and they all gave themselves the twist that makes peeps into the future easier . ` Years have rolled by ; and who is this elegant lady of uncertain age alighting at London Station ? ' ' O Wendy , who is she ? ' cried Nibs , every bit as excited as if he did n't know . ` Can it be -- yes -- no -- it is -- the fair Wendy ! ' ` Oh ! ' ` And who are the two noble portly figures accompanying her , now grown to man 's estate ? Can they be John and Michael ? They are ! ' ` Oh ! ' ' `` See , dear brothers , '' says Wendy , pointing upwards , ' `` there is the window still standing open . Ah , now we are rewarded for our sublime faith in a mother 's love . '' So up they flew to their mummy and daddy ; and pen can not describe the happy scene , over which we draw a veil . ' That was the story , and they were as pleased with it as the fair narrator herself . Everything just as it should be , you see . Off we skip like the most heartless things in the world , which is what children are , but so attractive ; and we have an entirely selfish time ; and then when we have need of special attention we nobly return for it , confident that we shall be embraced instead of smacked . So great indeed was their faith in a mother 's love that they felt they could afford to be callous for a bit longer .
But there was one there who knew better ; and when XXXXX finished he uttered a hollow groan .
