She even gives him an imaginary goat which he rides around every night. Maimie does not forget Peter, however, and when she is older, she makes presents and letters for him. Maimie is going to stay with him, but realises that her mother must be missing her dreadfully, so she leaves Peter to return home. He and Maimie become fast friends, and little Peter asks her to marry him. Peter later meets a little girl named Maimie Mannering, who is lost in the Gardens. Peter returns, heartbroken, to Kensington Gardens. Unfortunately, Peter stays too long in the Gardens, and, when he uses his second wish to go home permanently, he is devastated to learn that, in his absence, his mother has given birth to another boy she can love. He considers returning to live with her, but first decides to go back to the Gardens to say his last good-byes. Peter feels rather guilty for leaving his mother, mostly because he believes she misses him terribly. The fairies reluctantly help him to fly home, where he finds his mother is asleep in his old bedroom. Eventually, Queen Mab grants him the wish of his heart, and he decides to return home to his mother. He amuses them with his human ways and agrees to play the panpipes at the fairy dances. Although he terrifies the fairies when he first arrives, Peter quickly gains favour with them.
