Abandoning the fight he rushed into the powder magazine and fired it. 'In two minutes,' he cried, 'the ship will be blown to pieces.' Now, now, he thought, true form will show.

opponent to pick up his sword. Hook did so instantly, but with a tragic feeling that Peter was showing good form. Hitherto he had thought it was some fiend fighting him, but darker suspicions assailed him now. 'Pan, who and what art thou?' he cried huskily. 'I'm youth, I'm joy,' Peter answered at a venture, 'I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.' This, of course, was nonsense; but it was proof to the unhappy Hook that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was, which is the very pinnacle of good form.

And again and again he darted in and pricked. Hook was fighting now without hope. That passionate breast no longer asked for life; but for one boon it craved: to see Peter bad form before it was cold for ever.
