`` 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 Michael took his medicine , but Mr. Darling slipped his behind his back . There was a yell of rage from Michael , and `` O father ! '' Wendy exclaimed . `` What do you mean by ' O father ' ? '' Mr. Darling demanded . `` Stop that row , Michael . I meant to take mine , but I -- I missed it . '' It was dreadful the way all the three were looking at him , just as if they did not admire him . `` Look here , all of you , '' he said entreatingly , as soon as Nana had gone into the bathroom . `` I have just thought of a splendid joke . I shall pour my medicine into Nana 's bowl , and she will drink it , thinking it is milk ! '' It was the colour of milk ; but the children did not have their father 's sense of humour , and they looked at him reproachfully as he poured the medicine into Nana 's bowl . `` What fun ! ''
he said doubtfully , and they did not dare expose him when Mrs. Darling and XXXXX returned .
