Mr. Darling was frightfully ashamed of himself , but he would not give in . In a horrid silence Mrs. Darling smelt the bowl . `` O George , '' she said , `` it 's your medicine ! '' `` It was only a joke , '' he roared , while she comforted her boys , and Wendy hugged Nana . `` Much good , '' he said bitterly , `` my wearing myself to the bone trying to be funny in this house . '' And still Wendy hugged Nana . `` That 's right , '' he shouted . `` Coddle her ! Nobody coddles me . Oh dear no ! I am only the breadwinner , why should I be coddled -- why , why , why ! '' `` George , '' Mrs. Darling entreated him , `` not so loud ; the servants will hear you . '' Somehow they had got into the way of calling Liza the servants . `` Let them ! '' he answered recklessly . `` Bring in the whole world . But I refuse to allow that dog to lord it in my nursery for an hour longer . '' The children wept , and Nana ran to him beseechingly , but he waved her back . He felt he was a strong man again . `` In vain , in vain , '' he cried ; `` the proper place for you is the yard , and there you go to be tied up this instant . ''
`` XXXXX , George , '' Mrs. Darling whispered , `` remember what I told you about that boy . ''
