'Are they to die?' asked Wendy, with a look of such frightful contempt that he nearly fainted. 'They are,' he snarled. 'Silence all,' he called gloatingly, 'for a mother's last words to her children.' ARE THEY TO DIE ASKED WENDY WITH A LOOK OF SUCH FRIGHTFUL CONTEMPT THAT HE NEARLY FAINTED THEY ARE HE SNARLED SILENCE ALL HE CALLED GLOATINGLY FOR A MOTHER'S LAST WORDS TO HER CHILDREN

They were only boys, and they went white as they saw Jukes and Cecco preparing the fatal plank. But they tried to look brave when Wendy was brought up. No words of mine can tell you how Wendy despised those pirates. To the boys there was at least some glamour in the pirate calling; but all that she saw was that the ship had not been scrubbed for years. There was not a porthole, on the grimy glass of which you might not have written with your finger 'Dirty pig'; and she had already written it on several. But as the boys gathered round her she had no thought, of course, save for them. 'So, my beauty,' said Hook, as if he spoke in syrup, 'you are to see your children walk the plank.' Fine gentleman though he was, the intensity of his communings had soiled his ruff, and suddenly he knew that she was gazing at it. With a hasty gesture he tried to hide it, but he was too late.  SQUEAKED CURLY THE INFURIATED PIRATES BUFFETED THEM IN THE MOUTH AND HOOK ROARED OUT THAT SEALS YOUR DOOM BRING UP THEIR MOTHER GET THE PLANK READY THEY WERE ONLY BOYS AND THEY WENT WHITE AS THEY SAW JUKES AND CECO PREPARING THE FATAL PLANK BUT THEY TRIED TO LOOK BRAVE WHEN WENDY WAS BROUGHT UP NO WORDS OF MINE CAN TELL YOU HOW WENDY DESPISED THE PIRATES TO THE BOYS THERE WAS AT LEAST SOME GLAMOUR IN THE PIRATE CALLING BUT ALL THAT SHE SAW WAS THAT THE SHIP HAD NOT BEEN SCRUBBED FOR YEARS THERE WAS NOT A PORT HOLE ON THE GRIMY GLASS OF WHICH YOU COULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN WITH YOUR FINGER DIRTY PIG AND SHE HAD ALREADY WRITTEN IT ON SEVERAL BUT AS THE BOYS GATHERED ROUND HER SHE HAD NO THOUGHT OF COURSE SAVE FOR THEM SO MY BEAUTY SAID HOOK AS IF HE SPOKE IN SIR YOU ARE TO SEE YOUR CHILDREN WALK THE PLANK FINE GENTLEMAN THOUGH HE WAS THE INTENSITY OF HIS COMMUNINGS HAD SOILED HIS RUFF AND SUDDENLY HE KNEW THAT SHE WAS GAZING AT IT WITH A HASTY GESTURE HE TRIED TO HIDE IT BUT HE WAS TOO LATE
