` Say , `` Ay , ay , sir . '' ' ` Ay , ay , sir . ' ` There is one thing , ' Peter continued , ` that every boy who serves under me has to promise , and so must you . ' John paled . ` It is this , if we meet Hook in open fight , you must leave him to me . ' ' I promise , ' John said loyally . For the moment they were feeling less eerie , because Tink was flying with them , and in her light they could distinguish each other . Unfortunately she could not fly so slowly as they , and so she had to go round and round them in a circle in which they moved as in a halo . Wendy quite liked it , until Peter pointed out the drawback . ` She tells me , ' he said , ` that the pirates sighted us before the darkness came , and got Long Tom out . ' ` The big gun ? ' ` Yes . And of course they must see her light , and if they guess we are near it they are sure to let fly . ' ` Wendy ! ' ` John ! ' ` Michael ! ' ` Tell her to go away at once , Peter , ' the three cried simultaneously , but he refused . ` She thinks we have lost the way , ' he replied stiffly , ` and she is rather frightened . You do n't think I would send her away all by herself when she is frightened ! ' For a moment the circle of light was broken , and something gave Peter a loving little pinch .
` Then tell her , ' XXXXX begged , ` to put out her light . '
