Slightly, white to the gills, knew that Hook had surprised his secret, which was this, that no boy so blown out could use a tree wherein an average man need stick. SLIGHTLY WHITE TO THE GILLS KNEW THE HOOK HAD SURPRISED HIS SECRET WHICH WAS THIS THAT NO BOY SO BLOWN OUT COULD USE A TREE WHEREIN AN AVERAGE MAN NEEDS STICK
ot have discovered Slightly's secret, and without the secret he could not presently have made his foul attempt on Peter's life. They were tied to prevent their flying away, doubled up with their knees close to their ears; and for the trussing of them the black pirate had cut a rope into nine equal pieces. All went well until Slightly's turn came, when he was found to be like those irritating parcels that use up all the string in going round and leave no tags with which to tie a knot. The pirates kicked him in their rage, just as you kick the parcel (though in fairness you should kick the string); and strange to say it was Hook who told them to belay their violence. His lip was curled with malicious triumph. While his dogs were merely sweating because every time they tried to pack the unhappy lad tight in one part he bulged out in another, Hook's master mind had gone far beneath Slightly's surface, probing not for effects but for causes; and his exultation showed that he had found them. E 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 THEY WERE TIED TO PREVENT THEIR FLYING AWAY DOUBLED UP WITH THEIR KNEES CLOSE TO THEIR EARS AND FOR THE TRUSSING OF THEM THE BLACK PIRATE HAD CUT A ROPE INTO NINE EQUAL PIECES ALL WENT WELL UNTIL SLIGHTLY'S TURN CAME WHEN HE WAS FOUND TO BE LIKE THOSE IRRITATING PARCELS THAT USE UP ALL THE STRING IN GOING ROUND AND LEAVE NO TAGS WITH WHICH TO TIE A KNOT THE PIRATES KICKED HIM IN THEIR RAGE JUST AS YOU KICKED THE PARCEL THOUGH IN FANS YOU SHOULD KICK THE STRING AND STRANGE TO SAY IT WAS HOOK WHO TAUGHT THEM TO BELAY THEIR VIOLENCE HIS LIP WAS CURLED WITH MALICIOUS TRIUMPH WHILE HIS DOGS WERE MERELY SWEATING BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY TRIED TO PACK THE UNHAPPY LAD TIGHT IN ONE PART HE BULGED OUT IN ANOTHER HOOK'S MASTER MIND HAD GONE FAR BENEATH SLIGHTLY SURFACE PROBING NOT FOR EFFECTS BUT FOR COURSES AND HIS EXULTATION SHOWED THAT HE HAD FOUND THEM
