Of course Wendy was very elated over Peter's cleverness; but she knew that he would be elated also and very likely crow and thus betray himself, so at once her hand went out to cover his mouth. OF COURSE WENDY WAS VERY ELATED OVER PETER'S CLEVERNESS BUT SHE KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE ELATED ALSO AND VERY LIKELY CROW AND THUS BETRAY HIMSELF SO AT ONCE HER HAND WENT OUT TO COVER HIS MOUTH
ut he had forgotten them all. He was less sorry than Wendy for Tiger Lily: it was two against one that angered him, and he meant to save her. An easy way would have been to wait until the pirates had gone, but he was never one to choose the easy way. There was almost nothing he could not do, and he now imitated the voice of Hook. 'Ahoy there, you lubbers,' he called. It was a marvellous imitation. 'The captain,' said the pirates, staring at each other in surprise. 'He must be swimming out to us,' Starkey said, when they had looked for him in vain. 'We are putting the redskin on the rock,' Smee called out. 'Set her free,' came the astonishing answer. 'Free!' 'Yes, cut her bonds and let her go.' 'But, captain----' 'At once, d'ye hear,' cried Peter, 'or I'll plunge my hook in you.' 'This is queer,' Smee gasped. 'Better do what the captain orders,' said Starkey nervously. 'Ay, ay,' Smee said, and he cut Tiger Lily's cords. At once like an eel she slid between Starkey's legs into the water. T WAS THE FIRST TRAGEDY SHE HAD SEEN PETER HAD SEEN MANY TRAGEDIES BUT HE HAD FORGOTTEN THEM ALL HE WAS LESS SORRY THAN WENDY FOR TIGER LILY IT WAS TWO AGAINST ONE THAT ANGERED HIM AND HE MEANT TO SAVE HER AN EASY WAY WOULD HAVE BEEN TO WAIT UNTIL THE PIRATES HAD GONE BUT HE WAS NEVER WONT TO CHOOSE THE EASY WAY THERE WAS ALMOST NOTHING HE COULD NOT DO AND HE NOW IMITATED THE VOICE OF HOOK AHOY THERE YOU LUBBERS HE CALLED IT WAS A MARVELLOUS IMITATION THE CAPTAIN SAID THE PIRATES STARING AT EACH OTHER IN SURPRISE HE MUST BE SWIMMING OUT TO US STARKEY SAID WHEN THEY HAD LOOKED FOR HIM IN VAIN WE ARE PUTTING THE REDSKIN ON THE ROCK SMEE CALLED OUT SET HER FREE CAME THE ASTONISHING ANSWER FREE YES CUT HER BONDS AND LET HER GO BUT CAPTAIN AT ONCE DEAR HAIR CRIED PETER OR I'LL PLUNGE MY HOOK IN YOU THIS IS QUEER SMEE GASPED BETTER DO WHAT THE CAPTAIN ORDERS SAID STARKEY NERVOUSLY AY AY SMEE SAID AND HE CUT TIGER LILY'S CORDS AT ONCE LIKE AN EEL SHE SLID BETWEEN STARKEY'S LEGS INTO THE WATER
