Then indeed Michael began to cry , and even John could speak in gulps only , for they knew Hook 's reputation . ` He was Blackbeard 's bo ` sun , ' John whispered huskily . ` He is the worst of them all . He is the only man of whom Barbecue was afraid . ' ` That 's him , ' said Peter . ` What is he like ? Is he big ? ' ` He is not so big as he was . ' ` How do you mean ? ' ' I cut off a bit of him . ' ` You ! ' ` Yes , me , ' said Peter sharply . ' I was n't meaning to be disrespectful . ' ` Oh , all right ' ` But , I say , what bit ? ' ` His right hand . ' ` Then he ca n't fight now ? ' ` Oh , ca n't he just ! ' ` Left-hander ? ' ` He has an iron hook instead of a right hand , and he claws with it . ' ` Claws ! ' '
I say , XXXXX , ' said Peter .
