Mr. Darling came to the window, looking for a present he was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. He told Peter that he had adopted all the other boys and would like to adopt him as well.

"Would you send me to school?" he inquired craftily.

"Yes."

"And then to an office?"

"I suppose so."

"Soon I would be a man?"

"Very soon."

"I don't want to go to school and learn solemn things," he told her passionately. "I don't want to be a man. Or Wendy's mother, if I were to wake and feel there was a beard!"

"Peter," said Wendy, the comforter, "I should love you in a beard." But Mr. Darling stretched out his arms to him, and Peter repulsed him. "Keep back, lady. No one is going to catch me and make me a man."

"But where are you going to live?"

"With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at night."

"How lovely," cried Wendy, so longing that Mr. Darling tightened his grip.

"I thought all the fairies were dead," Mr. Darling said.

"There are always a lot of young ones," explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority. "Because you see, when a new baby laughs for the first time, a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies, there are always new fairies. They live in nests on top of trees: the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are."

Wendy's eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke, painting a vivid picture of the enchanting world where Peter Pan and his fairies lived, a world that all seemed just out of reach but full of magic and possibility.
