the air, and the
shameless Jane rose with him; it was already her easiest way of moving
about.

Wendy rushed to the window.

'No, no,' she cried.

'It is just for spring-cleaning time,' Jane said; 'he wants me always to
do his spring cleaning.'

'If only I could go with you,' Wendy sighed.

'You see you can't fly,' said Jane.

Of course in the end Wendy let them fly away together. Our last glimpse
of her shows her at the window, watching them receding into the sky
until they were as small as stars.

As you look at Wendy you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure
little again, for all this happened long ago. Jane is now a common
grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring-cleaning
time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to
the Neverland, where she tells him stories about himself, to which he
listens eagerly. When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is
to be Peter's mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as
children are gay and innocent and heartless.
