` 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 , John , ' said Peter . ` Yes . ' ` 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 . '
` XXXXX ! '
