The fairy did not slap Tom , and tell him to hold his tongue : but she took him on her lap very kindly , just as her sister would have done ; and put him in mind how it was not her fault , because she was wound up inside , like watches , and could not help doing things whether she liked or not . And then she told him how he had been in the nursery long enough , and must go out now and see the world , if he intended ever to be a man ; and how he must go all alone by himself , as every one else that ever was born has to go , and see with his own eyes , and smell with his own nose , and make his own bed and lie on it , and burn his own fingers if he put them into the fire . And then she told him how many fine things there were to be seen in the world , and what an odd , curious , pleasant , orderly , respectable , well-managed , and , on the whole , successful -LRB- as , indeed , might have been expected -RRB- sort of a place it was , if people would only be tolerably brave and honest and good in it ; and then she told him not to be afraid of anything he met , for nothing would harm him if he remembered all his lessons , and did what he knew was right . And at last she comforted poor little Tom so much that he was quite eager to go , and wanted to set out that minute . `` Only , '' he said , `` if I might see Ellie once before I went ! '' `` Why do you want that ? '' `` Because -- because I should be so much happier if I thought she had forgiven me . '' And in the twinkling of an eye there stood Ellie , smiling , and looking so happy that Tom longed to kiss her ; but was still afraid it would not be respectful , because she was a lady born . `` I am going , Ellie ! '' said Tom . `` I am going , if it is to the world 's end . But I do n't like going at all , and that 's the truth . '' `` Pooh ! pooh ! pooh ! '' said the fairy . `` You will like it very well indeed , you little rogue , and you know that at the bottom of your heart . But if you do n't , I will make you like it . Come here , and see what happens to people who do only what is pleasant . '' And she took out of one of her cupboards -LRB- she had all sorts of mysterious cupboards in the cracks of the rocks -RRB- the most wonderful waterproof book , full of such photographs as never were seen .
For she had found out photography -LRB- and this is a fact -RRB- more than 13,598,000 years before anybody was born ; and , what is more , her photographs did not merely represent light and shade , as ours do , but colour also , and all colours , XXXXX you may see if you look at a black-cock 's tail , or a butterfly 's wing , or indeed most things that are or can be , so to speak .
