' exclaimed Wendy . ` Let me see father , ' Michael begged eagerly , and he took a good look . ` He is not so big as the pirate I killed , ' he said with such frank disappointment that I am glad Mr. Darling was asleep ; it would have been sad if those had been the first words he heard his little Michael say . Wendy and John had been taken aback somewhat at finding their father in the kennel . ` Surely , ' said John , like one who had lost faith in his memory , ` he used not to sleep in the kennel ?
