Never is an awfully long time.
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time.
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
Will they reach the nursery in time? If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story. On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
