Hook saw it, and it did Peter a bad service. It dried up any trickle of pity for him that may have remained in the pirate's infuriated breast. HOOK SAW IT AND IT DID PETER A BAD SURFACE IT DRIED UP A TRICKLE OF PITY FOR HIM THAT MAY HAVE REMAINED IN THE PIRATE'S INFURIATED BREAST
he others, whittled his tree to make it fit him. Sufficient of this Hook guessed to persuade him that Peter at last lay at his mercy; but no word of the dark design that now formed in the subterranean caverns of his mind crossed his lips; he merely signed that the captives were to be conveyed to the ship, and that he would be alone. How to convey them? Hunched up in their ropes they might indeed be rolled down hill like barrels, but most of the way lay through a morass. Again Hook's genius surmounted difficulties. He indicated that the little house must be used as a conveyance. The children were flung into it, four stout pirates raised it on their shoulders, the others fell in behind, and singing the hateful pirate chorus the strange procession set off through the wood. I don't know whether any of the children were crying; if so, the singing drowned the sound; but as the little house disappeared in the forest, a brave though tiny jet of smoke issued from its chimney as if defying Hook. S TREE HE HAD UNKNOWN TO THE OTHERS WHITTLED HIS TREE TO MAKE IT FIT HIM SUFFICIENT OF THIS HER GUESSED TO PERSUADE HIM THAT PETER AT LAST LAID HIS MERCY BUT NO WORD OF THE DARK DESIGN THAT NOW FORMED IN THE SUBTERRANEAN CAVERNS OF HIS MIND CROSSED HIS LIPS HE MERELY SIGNED THAT THE CAPTORS WERE TO BE CONVEYED TO THE SHIP AND THAT HE WOULD BE ALONE HOW TO CONVEY THEM HUNCHED UP IN THEIR ROPES THEY MIGHT INDEED BE ROLLED DOWN HILL LIKE BARRELS BUT MOST OF THE WAY LAY THROUGH A MORASS AGAIN HOOK'S GENIUS AMOUNTED DIFFICULTIES HE INDICATED THAT THE LITTLE HOUSE MUST BE USED AS A CONVEYANCE THE CHILDREN WERE FLUNG INTO IT FOUR STOUT PIRATES RAISED IT ON THEIR SHOULDERS THE OTHERS FELL IN BEHIND AND SINGING THE HATEFUL PIRATE CHORUS THE STRANGE PROCESSION SET OFF THROUGH THE WOOD I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANY OF THE CHILDREN WERE CRYING IF SO THE SINGING DROWNED THE SOUND BUT AS THE LITTLE HOUSE DISAPPEARED IN THE FOREST A BRAVE THOUGH TINY JET OF SMOKE ISSUED FROM ITS CHIMNEY AS IF DEFYING HOOK
