`` 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 , 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 XXXXX pointed out the drawbacks .
