he cried again . She had to tell him . `` I am old , Peter . I am ever so much more than twenty . I grew up long ago . '' `` You promised not to ! '' `` I could n't help it . I am a married woman , Peter . '' `` No , you 're not . '' `` Yes , and the little girl in the bed is my baby . '' `` No , she 's not . '' But he supposed she was ; and he took a step towards the sleeping child with his dagger upraised . Of course he did not strike . He sat down on the floor instead and sobbed ; and Wendy did not know how to comfort him , though she could have done it so easily once . She was only a woman now , and she ran out of the room to try to think . Peter continued to cry , and soon his sobs woke Jane . She sat up in bed , and was interested at once . `` Boy , '' she said , `` why are you crying ? '' Peter rose and bowed to her , and she bowed to him from the bed . `` Hullo , '' he said .
`` Hullo , '' XXXXX Jane .
