Barrie</b></a></p><blockquote>PETER: Her light is growing faint, and if it goes out, that means she is dead! Her voice is so low I can scarcely tell what she is saying. She says — she says she thinks she could get well again if children believed in fairies!<br><i> (He rises and throws out his arms he knows not to whom, perhaps to the boys and girls of whom he is not one.)</i><br> Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe! If you believe, clap your hands!<br><i> (Many clap, some don’t, a few hiss. Then perhaps there is a rush of Nanas to the nurseries to see what on earth is happening. But TINK is saved.)</i><br> Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! And now to rescue Wendy!<br><i> (TINK is already as merry and impudent as a grig, with not a thought for those who have saved her.</i></blockquote><p><b>J. M.
