Slightly is the most conceited of the boys.
Next comes Nibs, the gay and debonair, followed by Slightly, who cuts whistles out of the trees and dances ecstatically to his own tunes. Would that he could hear us, but we are not really on the island, and he passes by, biting his knuckles. Tootles, the fairy Tink, who is bent on mischief this night is looking for a tool, and she thinks you are the most easily tricked of the boys. Take care lest an adventure is now offered you, which, if accepted, will plunge you in deepest woe. Poor kind Tootles, there is danger in the air for you to-night. This ill-luck had given a gentle melancholy to his countenance, but instead of souring his nature had sweetened it, so that he was quite the humblest of the boys. 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 going off to gather a few sticks for firewood, and then when he returned the others would be sweeping up the blood. The first to pass is Tootles, not the least brave but the most unfortunate of all that gallant band. They have therefore become very sure-footed. They are forbidden by Peter to look in the least like him, and they wear the skins of the bears slain by themselves, in which they are so round and furry that when they fall they roll. 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. 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.
They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate.Īll wanted blood except the boys, who liked it as a rule, but to-night were out to greet their captain. 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. On this evening the chief forces of the island were disposed as follows.
But with the coming of Peter, who hates lethargy, they are under way again: if you put your ear to the ground now, you would hear the whole island seething with life. 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. In his absence things are usually quiet on the island. We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened, but woke is better and was always used by Peter.
