When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her, he said, ‘Who is Tinker Bell?’ ‘O Peter, ’ she said, shocked; but even when she explained he could not remember. ‘ There are such a lot of them, ’ he said. ‘I expect she is no more.’ I expect he was right, for fairies don’t live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them. J.m. Barrie
