He was glad no one asked him what first impressions are ; they were all too busy looking their best . He knocked politely , and now the wood was as still as the children , not a sound to be heard except from Tinker Bell , who was watching from a branch and openly sneering . What the boys were wondering was , would any one answer the knock ? If a lady , what would she be like ? The door opened and a lady came out . It was Wendy . They all whipped off their hats . She looked properly surprised , and this was just how they had hoped she would look . `` Where am I ? '' she said . Of course Slightly was the first to get his word in . `` Wendy lady , '' he said rapidly , `` for you we built this house . '' `` Oh , say you 're pleased , '' cried Nibs . `` Lovely , darling house , '' Wendy said , and they were the very words they had hoped she would say . `` And we are your children , '' cried the twins . Then all went on their knees , and holding out their arms cried , `` O Wendy lady , be our mother . '' `` Ought I ? '' Wendy said , all shining . `` Of course it 's frightfully fascinating , but you see I am only a little girl . I have no real experience . ''
`` That does n't matter , '' said Peter , as if he were the only person present who knew all about it , though he was really the XXXXX who knew least .
