e to his faithful bo'sun the story of his life. He spoke long and earnestly, but what it was all about Smee, who was rather stupid, did not know in the least. Anon he caught the word Peter. 'Most of all,' Hook was saying passionately, 'I want their captain, Peter Pan. 'Twas he cut off my arm.' He brandished the hook threateningly. 'I've waited long to shake his hand with this. Oh, I'll tear him.' 'And yet,' said Smee, 'I have often heard you say that hook was worth a score of hands, for combing the hair and other homely uses.' 'Ay,' the captain answered, 'if I was a mother I would pray to have my children born with this instead of that,' and he cast a look of pride upon his iron hand and one of scorn upon the other. Then again he frowned. 'Peter flung my arm,' he said, wincing, 'to a crocodile that happened to be passing by.' 'I have often,' said Smee, 'noticed your strange dread of crocodiles.' 'Not of crocodiles,' Hook corrected him, 'but of that one crocodile.' He lowered his voice.
