What was the last thing Peter ever said to you ? ' ` The last thing he ever said to me was , `` Just always be waiting for me , and then some night you will hear me crowing . '' ' ` Yes . ' ` But , alas , he forgot all about me . ' Wendy said it with a smile . She was as grown up as that . ` What did his crow sound like ? ' Jane asked one evening . ` It was like this , ' Wendy said , trying to imitate Peter 's crow . ` No , it was n't , ' Jane said gravely , ` it was like this ' ; and she did it ever so much better than her mother . Wendy was a little startled . ` My darling , how can you know ? ' ' I often hear it when I am sleeping , ' Jane said . ` Ah yes , many girls hear it when they are sleeping , but I was the only one who heard it awake . ' ` Lucky you , ' said Jane . And then one night came the tragedy . It was the spring of the year , and the story had been told for the night , and Jane was now asleep in her bed . Wendy was sitting on the floor , very close to the fire , so as to see to darn , for there was no other light in the nursery ; and while she sat darning she heard a crow . Then the window blew open as of old , and Peter dropped on the floor . He was exactly the same as ever , and Wendy saw at once that he still had all his first teeth .
He was a little boy , and she was XXXXX up .
