` Perhaps Tinker Bell will tell me . ' ` Oh yes , Tinker Bell will tell you , ' Wendy retorted scornfully . ` She is an abandoned little creature . ' Here Tink , who was in her boudoir , eavesdropping , squeaked out something impudent . ` She says she glories in being abandoned , ' Peter interpreted . He had a sudden idea . ` Perhaps Tink wants to be my mother ? ' ` You silly ass ! ' cried Tinker Bell in a passion . She had said it so often that Wendy needed no translation . ' I almost agree with her , ' Wendy snapped . Fancy Wendy snapping . But she had been much tried , and she little knew what was to happen before the night was out . If she had known she would not have snapped . None of them knew . Perhaps it was best not to know . Their ignorance gave them one more glad hour ; and as it was to be their last hour on the island , let us rejoice that there were sixty glad minutes in it . They sang and danced in their night-gowns . Such a deliciously creepy song it was , in which they pretended to be frightened at their own shadows ; little witting that so soon shadows would close in upon them , from whom they would shrink in real fear . So uproariously gay was the dance , and how they buffeted each other on the bed and out of it !
It was a pillow fight rather than a dance , and when it was finished , the pillows insisted on one bout more , like partners who XXXXX that they may never meet again .
