You can be sorry for him for that , but do n't be too sorry , for the next thing I mean to tell you is how he revisited her . It was the fairies who gave him the chance . The Little House Everybody has heard of the Little House in the Kensington Gardens , which is the only house in the whole world that the fairies have built for humans . But no one has really seen it , except just three or four , and they have not only seen it but slept in it , and unless you sleep in it you never see it . This is because it is not there when you lie down , but it is there when you wake up and step outside . In a kind of way everyone may see it , but what you see is not really it , but only the light in the windows . You see the light after Lock-out Time . David , for instance , saw it quite distinctly far away among the trees as we were going home from the pantomime , and Oliver Bailey saw it the night he stayed so late at the Temple , which is the name of his father 's office . Angela Clare , who loves to have a tooth extracted because then she is treated to tea in a shop , saw more than one light , she saw hundreds of them all together , and this must have been the fairies building the house , for they build it every night and always in a different part of the Gardens . She thought one of the lights was bigger than the others , though she was not quite sure , for they jumped about so , and it might have been another one that was bigger . But if it was the same one , it was Peter Pan 's light . Heaps of children have seen the fight , so that is nothing . But Maimie Mannering was the famous one for whom the house was first built . Maimie was always rather a strange girl , and it was at night that she was strange . She was four years of age , and in the daytime she was the ordinary kind . She was pleased when her brother Tony , who was a magnificent fellow of six , took notice of her , and she looked up to him in the right way , and tried in vain to imitate him and was flattered rather than annoyed when he shoved her about . Also , when she was batting she would pause though the ball was in the air to point out to you that she was wearing new shoes . She was quite the ordinary kind in the daytime . But as the shades of night fell , Tony , the swaggerer , lost his contempt for Maimie and eyed her fearfully , and no wonder , for with dark there came into her face a look that I can describe only as a leary look . It was also a serene look that contrasted grandly with Tony 's uneasy glances .
Then he would make her presents of his favourite toys -LRB- which he always XXXXX away from her next morning -RRB- and she accepted them with a disturbing smile .
