Had she haughtily unhanded him (and we should have loved to write it of her), she would have been hurled through the air like the others, and then Hook would probably not have been present at the tying of the children; and had he not been at the tying he would not have discovered Slightly's secret, and without the secret he could not presently have made his foul attempt on Peter's life. HAD SHE HAUGHTILY UNHANDED HIM AND WE SHOULD HAVE LOVED TO WRITE IT OF HER SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HURLED THROUGH THE AIR LIKE THE OTHERS AND THEN HOOK WOULD PROBABLY NOT HAVE BEEN PRESENT AT THE TYING OF THE CHILDREN AND HAD HE NOT BEEN AT THE TYING HE WOULD NOT HAVE DISCOVERED SLIGHTLY'S SECRET AND WITHOUT THE SECRET HE COULD NOT PRESENTLY HAVE MADE HIS FOUL ATTEMPT ON PETER'S LIFE
ES? The more quickly this horror is disposed of the better. The first to emerge from his tree was Curly. He rose out of it into the arms of Cecco, who flung him to Smee, who flung him to Starkey, who flung him to Bill Jukes, who flung him to Noodler, and so he was tossed from one to another till he fell at the feet of the black pirate. All the boys were plucked from their trees in this ruthless manner; and several of them were in the air at a time, like bales of goods flung from hand to hand. [Illustration: FLUNG LIKE BALES] A different treatment was accorded to Wendy, who came last. With ironical politeness Hook raised his hat to her, and, offering her his arm, escorted her to the spot where the others were being gagged. He did it with such an air, he was so frightfully _distingué_, that she was too fascinated to cry out. She was only a little girl. Perhaps it is tell-tale to divulge that for a moment Hook entranced her, and we tell on her only because her slip led to strange results.
