She did not yet know that Tink hated her with the fierce hatred of a very woman . And so , bewildered , and now staggering in her flight , she followed Tink to her doom . Chapter 5 THE ISLAND COME TRUE Feeling that Peter was on his way back , the Neverland had again woke into life . We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened , but woke is better and was always used by Peter . In his absence things are usually quiet on the island . The fairies take an hour longer in the morning , the beasts attend to their young , the redskins feed heavily for six days and nights , and when pirates and lost boys meet they merely bite their thumbs at each other . But with the coming of Peter , who hates lethargy , they are under way again : if you put your ear to the ground now , you would hear the whole island seething with life . On this evening the chief forces of the island were disposed as follows . The lost boys were out looking for Peter , the pirates were out looking for the lost boys , the redskins were out looking for the pirates , and the beasts were out looking for the redskins . They were going round and round the island , but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate . All wanted blood except the boys , who liked it as a rule , but to-night were out to greet their captain . The boys on the island vary , of course , in numbers , according as they get killed and so on ; and when they seem to be growing up , which is against the rules , Peter thins them out ; but at this time there were six of them , counting the twins as two . Let us pretend to lie here among the sugar-cane and watch them as they steal by in single file , each with his hand on his dagger . They are forbidden by Peter to look in the least like him , and they wear the skins of the bears slain by themselves , in which they are so round and furry that when they fall they roll . They have therefore become very sure-footed . The first to pass is Tootles , not the least brave but the most unfortunate of all that gallant band . He had been in fewer adventures than any of them , because the big things constantly happened just when he had stepped round the corner ; all would be quiet , he would take the opportunity of going off to gather a few sticks for firewood , and then when he returned the others would be sweeping up the blood . This ill-luck had given a gentle melancholy to his countenance , but instead of souring his nature had sweetened it , so that he was quite the humblest of the boys . Poor kind Tootles , there is danger in the air for you to-night . Take care lest an adventure is now offered you , which , if accepted , will plunge you in deepest woe .
Tootles , the fairy XXXXX , who is bent on mischief this night is looking for a tool -LSB- for doing her mischief -RSB- , and she thinks you are the most easily tricked of the boys .
