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.'

'Shall we still be respectful subjects of the King?' John inquired. Through Hook's teeth came the answer: 'You would have to swear, "Down with the King."' Perhaps John had not behaved very well so far, but he shone out now. 'Then I refuse,' he cried, banging the barrel in front of Hook. 'And I refuse,' cried Michael. 'Rule Britannia!' 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 Cecco preparing the fatal plank. But they tried to look brave when Wendy was brought up.  AND HE WAS STRUCK BY HOOK'S PICKING HIM OUT I HAD ONCE THOUGHT OF CALLING MYSELF RED HANDED JACK HE SAID DIFFIDENTLY AND A GOOD NAME TOO WE'LL CALL YOU THAT HERE BULLY IF YOU JOIN WHAT DO YOU THINK MICHAEL ASKED JOHN WHAT WOULD YOU CALL ME IF I JOIN MICHAEL DEMANDED BLACKBEARD JOE MICHAEL WAS NATURALLY IMPRESSED WHAT DO YOU THINK JOHN HE WANTED JOHN TO DECIDE AND JOHN WANTED HIM TO DECIDE SHALL WE STILL BE RESPECTFUL SUBJECTS OF THE KING JOHN INQUIRED THROUGH HOOK'S TEETH CAME THE ANSWER YOU WOULD HAVE TO SWEAR DOWN WITH THE KING PERHAPS JOHN HAD NOT BEHAVED VERY WELL SO FAR BUT HE SHONE OUT NOW THEN I REFUSE HE CRIED BANGING THE BARREL IN FRONT OF HOOK AND I REFUSE CRIED MICHAEL RULE BRITANNIA 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
