Quote #4
"Give me my Bunny!" he said. "You mustn't say that. He isn't a toy. He's REAL!"
When the little Rabbit heard that he was happy, for he knew that what the Skin Horse had said was true at last. The nursery magic had happened to him, and he was a toy no longer. He was Real. The Boy himself had said it. (22-23)
This is probably the best day of the Rabbit's life. He knows that once the Boy says he's Real then something powerful has taken place. He's not a toy—he's loved, he's Real, and he can never go back to being unreal.
Quote #5
"He doesn't smell right!" he exclaimed. "He isn't a rabbit at all! He isn't real!"
"I am Real!" said the little Rabbit. "I am Real! The Boy said so!" And he nearly began to cry.
Just then there was a sound of footsteps, and the Boy ran past near them, and with a stamp of feet and a flash of white tails the two strange rabbits disappeared.
"Come back and play with me!" called the little Rabbit. "Oh, do come back! I know I am Real!"
(44-47)
Okay, but this run in with the wild rabbits doesn't go so great. They don't think the Rabbit is Real. But he never loses faith in the nursery magic. He still believes that he's Real. If the Boy said that it's true, it must be so.
Quote #6
To [the Boy] he was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about. He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter. (51)
This is the power of love…and of the nursery magic. Sure, the Rabbit is getting all scruffy looking (just like the Skin Horse), but he doesn't care. He's Real but he still feels beautiful because the Boy loves him. It's like they're both under a spell.
