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 ? '' `` John , '' Wendy said falteringly , `` perhaps we do n't remember the old life as well as we thought we did . '' A chill fell upon them ; and serve them right . `` It is very careless of mother , '' said that young scoundrel John , `` not to be here when we come back . '' It was then that Mrs. Darling began playing again . `` It 's mother ! '' cried Wendy , peeping . `` So it is ! '' said John . `` Then are you not really our mother , Wendy ? '' asked Michael , who was surely sleepy . `` Oh dear ! '' exclaimed Wendy , with her first real twinge of remorse -LSB- for having gone -RSB- , `` it was quite time we came back . '' `` Let us creep in , '' John suggested , `` and put our hands over her eyes . '' But Wendy , who saw that they must break the joyous news more gently , had a better plan . `` Let us all slip into our beds , and be there when she comes in , just as if we had never been away . '' And so when Mrs. Darling went back to the night-nursery to see if her husband was asleep , all the beds were occupied . The children waited for her cry of joy , but it did not come . She saw them , but she did not believe they were there .
You XXXXX , she saw them in their beds so often in her dreams that she thought this was just the dream hanging around her still .
