Tinker Bell answered insolently.

"Tink," said Peter amiably, "this lady ways she wishes you
were her fairy."



"What does she say, Peter?"

He had to translate. "She is not very polite. She says you
are a great [huge] ugly girl, and that she is my fairy.

He tried to argue with Tink. "You know you can't be my fairy,
Tink, because I am an gentleman and you are a lady."

To this Tink replied in these words, "You silly ass," and
disappeared into the bathroom. "She is quite a common fairy,"
Peter explained apologetically, "she is called Tinker Bell
because she mends the pots and kettles [tinker = tin worker]."
