1They were all delighted. "Quick," he ordered them, "bring me each of you the best of what we have. Gut our house. Be
2sharp." In a moment they were as busy as tailors the night before a wedding. They skurried this way and that, down for
3bedding, up for firewood, and while they were at it, who should appear but John and Michael. As they dragged along the
4ground they fell asleep standing, stopped, woke up, moved another step and slept again. "John, John," Michael would cry,
5"wake up! Where is Nana, John, and mother?" And then John would rub his eyes and mutter, "It is true, we did fly." You
6may be sure they were very relieved to find Peter. "Hullo, Peter," they said. "Hullo," replied Peter amicably, though he
7had quite forgotten them. He was very busy at the moment measuring Wendy with his feet to see how large a house she
8would need. Of course he meant to leave room for chairs and a table. John and Michael watched him. "Is Wendy asleep?"
9they asked. "Yes." "John," Michael proposed, "let us wake her and get her to make supper for us," but as he said it some
10of the other boys rushed on carrying branches for the building of the house. "Look at them!" he cried. "Curly," said
11Peter in his most captainy voice, "see that these boys help in the building of the house." "Ay, ay, sir." "Build a
12house?" exclaimed John. "For the Wendy," said Curly. "For Wendy?" John said, aghast. "Why, she is only a girl!" "That,"
13explained Curly, "is why we are her servants." "You? Wendy's servants!" "Yes," said Peter, "and you also. Away with
14them." The astounded brothers were dragged away to hack and hew and carry. "Chairs and a fender first," Peter ordered.
15"Then we shall build a house round them." "Ay," said Slightly, "that is how a house is built; it all comes back to me."
16Peter thought of everything. "Slightly," he cried, "fetch a doctor." "Ay, ay," said Slightly at once, and disappeared,
17scratching his head. But he knew Peter must be obeyed, and he returned in a moment, wearing John's hat and looking
18solemn. "Please, sir," said Peter, going to him, "are you a doctor?" The difference between him and the other boys at
19such a time was that they knew it was make-believe, while to him make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This
20sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make-believe that they had had their dinners. If they broke down in their
21make-believe he rapped them on the knuckles. "Yes, my little man," Slightly anxiously replied, who had chapped knuckles.
22"Please, sir," Peter explained, "a lady lies very ill." She was lying at their feet, but Slightly had the sense not to
23see her. "Tut, tut, tut," he said, "where does she lie?" "In yonder glade." "I will put a glass thing in her mouth,"
24said Slightly, and he made-believe to do it, while Peter waited. It was an anxious moment when the glass thing was
25withdrawn. "How is she?" inquired Peter. "Tut, tut, tut," said Slightly, "this has cured her." "I am glad!" Peter cried.
26"I will call again in the evening," Slightly said; "give her beef tea out of a cup with a spout to it;" but after he had
27returned the hat to John he blew big breaths, which was his habit on escaping from a difficulty. In the meantime the
28wood had been alive with the sound of axes; almost everything needed for a cosy dwelling already lay at Wendy's feet.
29"If only we knew," said one, "the kind of house she likes best." "Peter," shouted another, "she is moving in her sleep."
30"Her mouth opens," cried a third, looking respectfully into it. "Oh, lovely!" "Perhaps she is going to sing in her
31sleep," said Peter. "Wendy, sing the kind of house you would like to have." Immediately, without opening her eyes, Wendy
32began to sing: "I wish I had a pretty house, The littlest ever seen, With funny little red walls And roof of mossy
33green." They gurgled with joy at this, for by the greatest good luck the branches they had brought were sticky with red
34sap, and all the ground was carpeted with moss. As they rattled up the little house they broke into song themselves:
35"We've built the little walls and roof And made a lovely door, So tell us, mother Wendy, What are you wanting more?" To
36this she answered greedily: "Oh, really next I think I'll have Gay windows all about, With roses peeping in, you know,
37And babies peeping out." With a blow of their fists they made windows, and large yellow leaves were the blinds. But
38roses--? "Roses," cried Peter sternly. Quickly they made-believe to grow the loveliest roses up the walls. Babies? To
39prevent Peter ordering babies they hurried into song again: "We've made the roses peeping out, The babes are at the
40door, We cannot make ourselves, you know, 'Cos we've been made before." Peter, seeing this to be a good idea, at once
41pretended that it was his own. The house was quite beautiful, and no doubt Wendy was very cosy within, though, of
42course, they could no longer see her. Peter strode up and down, ordering finishing touches. Nothing escaped his eagle
43eyes. Just when it seemed absolutely finished: "There's no knocker on the door," he said. They were very ashamed, but
44Tootles gave the sole of his shoe, and it made an excellent knocker. Absolutely finished now, they thought. Not of bit
45of it. "There's no chimney," Peter said; "we must have a chimney." "It certainly does need a chimney," said John
46importantly. This gave Peter an idea. He snatched the hat off John's head, knocked out the bottom, and put the hat on
47the roof. The little house was so pleased to have such a capital chimney that, as if to say thank you, smoke immediately
48began to come out of the hat. Now really and truly it was finished. Nothing remained to do but to knock. "All look your
49best," Peter warned them; "first impressions are awfully important." He was glad no one asked him what first impressions
50are; they were all too busy looking their best. He knocked politely, and now the wood was as still as the children, not
51a sound to be heard except from Tinker Bell, who was watching from a branch and openly sneering. What the boys were
52wondering was, would any one answer the knock? If a lady, what would she be like? The door opened and a lady came out.
53It was Wendy. They all whipped off their hats. She looked properly surprised, and this was just how they had hoped she
54would look. "Where am I?" she said. Of course Slightly was the first to get his word in. "Wendy lady," he said rapidly,
55"for you we built this house." "Oh, say you're pleased," cried Nibs. "Lovely, darling house," Wendy said, and they were
56the very words they had hoped she would say. "And we are your children," cried the twins. Then all went on their knees,
57and holding out their arms cried, "O Wendy lady, be our mother." "Ought I?" Wendy said, all shining. "Of course it's
58frightfully fascinating, but you see I am only a little girl. I have no real experience." "That doesn't matter," said
59Peter, as if he were the only person present who knew all about it, though he was really the one who knew least. "What
60we need is just a nice motherly person." "Oh dear!" Wendy said, "you see, I feel that is exactly what I am." "It is, it
61is," they all cried; "we saw it at once." "Very well," she said, "I will do my best. Come inside at once, you naughty
62children; I am sure your feet are damp. And before I put you to bed I have just time to finish the story of Cinderella."
