` And there is my hook . Swear . ' ` They all swore . By this time they were on the rock , and suddenly Hook remembered Tiger Lily . ` Where is the redskin ? ' he demanded abruptly . He had a playful humour at moments , and they thought this was one of the moments . ` That is all right , captain , ' Smee answered complacently ; ` we let her go . ' ` Let her go ! ' cried Hook . '' Twas your own orders , ' the bo ` sun faltered . ` You called over the water to us to let her go , ' said Starkey . ` Brimstone and gall , ' thundered Hook , ` what cozening is here ? ' His face had gone black with rage , but he saw that they believed their words , and he was startled . ` Lads , ' he said , shaking a little , ' I gave no such order . ' ` It is passing queer , ' Smee said , and they all fidgeted uncomfortably . Hook raised his voice , but there was a quiver in it . ` Spirit that haunts this dark lagoon to-night , ' he cried , ` dost hear me ? ' Of course Peter should have kept quiet , but of course he did not . He immediately answered in Hook 's voice : ` Odds , bobs , hammer and tongs , I hear you . '
In that supreme moment Hook did not blanch , even at the gills , but Smee and XXXXX clung to each other in terror .
