`` He has an iron hook instead of a right hand , and he claws with it . '' `` Claws ! '' `` I say , John , '' said Peter . `` Yes . '' `` Say , ` Ay , ay , sir . ' '' `` Ay , ay , sir . '' `` There is one thing , '' Peter continued , `` that every boy who serves under me has to promise , and so must you . '' John paled . `` It is this , if we meet Hook in open fight , you must leave him to me . '' `` I promise , '' John said loyally . For the moment they were feeling less eerie , because Tink was flying with them , and in her light they could distinguish each other . Unfortunately she could not fly so slowly as they , and so she had to go round and round them in a circle in which they moved as in a halo . Wendy quite liked it , until Peter pointed out the drawbacks . `` She tells me , '' he said , `` that the pirates sighted us before the darkness came , and got Long Tom out . '' `` The big gun ? '' `` Yes . And of course they must see her light , and if they guess we are near it they are sure to let fly . '' `` Wendy ! '' `` John ! '' `` Michael ! ''
`` Tell her to XXXXX away at once , Peter , '' the three cried simultaneously , but he refused .
