Hook
or me this time ...
He
had lifted up one boy with his hook, and was using him as
a buckler, when another, who had just past his sword through
Mullins, sprang into the fray.
"Put
up your swords, boys, "cried the newcomer, "this
man is mine."
Thus
suddenly Hook found himself face to face with Peter. The others
drew back and formed a ring round them.
For
long the two enemies looked at one another; Hook shuddering
slightly, and Peter with the strange smile upon his face.
"So,
Pan," said Hook at last, "this is all your doing."
From
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
