It may have been so ; but it is considered right in the new philosophy , you know , to give spiritual causes for physical phenomena -- especially in parlour-tables ; and , of course , physical causes for spiritual ones , like thinking , and praying , and knowing right from wrong . And so they odds it till it comes even , as folks say down in Berkshire . `` How cruel of you to send Ellie away ! '' sobbed Tom . `` However , I will find her again , if I go to the world 's end to look for her . '' The fairy did not slap Tom , and tell him to hold his tongue : but she took him on her lap very kindly , just as her sister would have done ; and put him in mind how it was not her fault , because she was wound up inside , like watches , and could not help doing things whether she liked or not . And then she told him how he had been in the nursery long enough , and must go out now and see the world , if he intended ever to be a man ; and how he must go all alone by himself , as every one else that ever was born has to go , and see with his own eyes , and smell with his own nose , and make his own bed and lie on it , and burn his own fingers if he put them into the fire . And then she told him how many fine things there were to be seen in the world , and what an odd , curious , pleasant , orderly , respectable , well-managed , and , on the whole , successful -LRB- as , indeed , might have been expected -RRB- sort of a place it was , if people would only be tolerably brave and honest and good in it ; and then she told him not to be afraid of anything he met , for nothing would harm him if he remembered all his lessons , and did what he knew was right . And at last she comforted poor little Tom so much that he was quite eager to go , and wanted to set out that minute . `` Only , '' he said , `` if I might see Ellie once before I went ! '' `` Why do you want that ? '' `` Because -- because I should be so much happier if I thought she had forgiven me . '' And in the twinkling of an eye there stood Ellie , smiling , and looking so happy that Tom longed to kiss her ; but was still afraid it would not be respectful , because she was a lady born . `` I am going , Ellie ! '' said Tom . `` I am going , if it is to the world 's end . But I do n't like going at all , and that 's the truth . '' `` Pooh ! pooh ! pooh ! ''
