This so inflated them that they did various dodgy things to get staying up still longer , such as demanding bandages ; but Wendy , though glorying in having them all home again safe and sound , was scandalised by the lateness of the hour , and cried , `` To bed , to bed , '' in a voice that had to be obeyed . Next day , however , she was awfully tender , and gave out bandages to every one , and they played till bed-time at limping about and carrying their arms in slings . Chapter 10 THE HAPPY HOME One important result of the brush -LSB- with the pirates -RSB- on the lagoon was that it made the redskins their friends . Peter had saved Tiger Lily from a dreadful fate , and now there was nothing she and her braves would not do for him . All night they sat above , keeping watch over the home under the ground and awaiting the big attack by the pirates which obviously could not be much longer delayed . Even by day they hung about , smoking the pipe of peace , and looking almost as if they wanted tit-bits to eat . They called Peter the Great White Father , prostrating themselves -LSB- lying down -RSB- before him ; and he liked this tremendously , so that it was not really good for him . `` The great white father , '' he would say to them in a very lordly manner , as they grovelled at his feet , `` is glad to see the Piccaninny warriors protecting his wigwam from the pirates . '' `` Me Tiger Lily , '' that lovely creature would reply . `` Peter Pan save me , me his velly nice friend . Me no let pirates hurt him . '' She was far too pretty to cringe in this way , but Peter thought it his due , and he would answer condescendingly , `` It is good . Peter Pan has spoken . '' Always when he said , `` Peter Pan has spoken , '' it meant that they must now shut up , and they accepted it humbly in that spirit ; but they were by no means so respectful to the other boys , whom they looked upon as just ordinary braves . They said `` How-do ? '' to them , and things like that ; and what annoyed the boys was that Peter seemed to think this all right . Secretly Wendy sympathised with them a little , but she was far too loyal a housewife to listen to any complaints against father . `` Father knows best , '' she always said , whatever her private opinion must be . Her private opinion was that the redskins should not call her a squaw . We have now reached the evening that was to be known among them as the Night of Nights , because of its adventures and their upshot .
The day , as if quietly gathering its forces , had been almost uneventful , and now the redskins in their blankets were at their posts above , while , below , the children were having their evening meal ; all except XXXXX , who had gone out to get the time .
