At present she was full of jealousy of Wendy . What she said in her lovely tinkle Wendy could not of course understand , and I believe some of it was bad words , but it sounded kind , and she flew back and forward , plainly meaning ` Follow me , and all will be well . ' What else could poor Wendy do ? She called to Peter and John and Michael , and got only mocking echoes in reply . She did not yet know that Tink hated her with the fierce hatred of a very woman . And so , bewildered , and now staggering in her flight , she followed Tink to her doom . CHAPTER V THE ISLAND COME TRUE Feeling that Peter was on his way back , the Neverland had again woke into life . We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened , but woke is better and was always used by Peter . In his absence things are usually quiet on the island . The fairies take an hour longer in the morning , the beasts attend to their young , the redskins feed heavily for six days and nights , and when pirates and lost boys meet they merely bite their thumbs at each other . But with the coming of Peter , who hates lethargy , they are all under way again : if you put your ear to the ground now , you would hear the whole island seething with life . On this evening the chief forces of the island were disposed as follows . The lost boys were out looking for Peter , the pirates were out looking for the lost boys , the redskins were out looking for the pirates , and the beasts were out looking for the redskins . They were going round and round the island , but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate . All wanted blood except the boys , who liked it as a rule , but to-night were out to greet their captain . The boys on the island vary , of course , in numbers , according as they get killed and so on ; and when they seem to be growing up , which is against the rules , Peter thins them out ; but at this time there were six of them , counting the twins as two . Let us pretend to lie here among the sugar-cane and watch them as they steal by in single file , each with his hand on his dagger . They are forbidden by Peter to look in the least like him , and they wear the skins of bears slain by themselves , in which they are so round and furry that when they fall they roll . They have therefore become very sure-footed . The first to pass is Tootles , not the least brave but the most unfortunate of all that gallant band .
He had been in fewer adventures than any of them , because the big things constantly happened just when he had stepped round the corner ; all would be quiet , he would take the opportunity of XXXXX off to gather a few sticks for firewood , and then when he returned the others would be sweeping up the blood .
