He skipped about and made funny faces , but when he stopped it was just as if she were inside him , knocking . `` Oh , all right , '' he said at last , and gulped . Then he unbarred the window . `` Come on , Tink , '' he cried , with a frightful sneer at the laws of nature ; `` we do n't want any silly mothers ; '' and he flew away . Thus Wendy and John and Michael found the window open for them after all , which of course was more than they deserved . They alighted on the floor , quite unashamed of themselves , and the youngest one had already forgotten his home . `` John , '' he said , looking around him doubtfully , `` I think I have been here before . '' `` Of course you have , you silly . There is your old bed . '' `` So it is , '' Michael said , but not with much conviction . `` I say , '' cried John , `` the kennel ! '' and he dashed across to look into it . `` Perhaps Nana is inside it , '' Wendy said . But John whistled . `` Hullo , '' he said , `` there 's a man inside it . '' `` It 's father ! '' 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 , '' XXXXX John , like one who had lost faith in his memory , `` he used not to sleep in the kennel ? ''
