` You called over the water to us to let her go , ' said Starkey . ` Brimstone and gall , ' thundered Hook , ` what cozening is here ? ' His face had gone black with rage , but he saw that they believed their words , and he was startled . ` Lads , ' he said , shaking a little , ' I gave no such order . ' ` It is passing queer , ' Smee said , and they all fidgeted uncomfortably .

' Of course Peter should have kept quiet , but of course he did not . He immediately answered in Hook 's voice : ` Odds , bobs , hammer and tongs , I hear you . ' In that supreme moment Hook did not blanch , even at the gills , but Smee and Starkey clung to each other in terror . ` Who are you , stranger , speak ? ' Hook demanded . ' I am James Hook , ' replied the voice , ` captain of the Jolly Roger . ' ` You are not ; you are not , ' Hook cried hoarsely . ` Brimstone and gall , ' the voice retorted , ` say that again , and I 'll cast anchor in you . ' Hook tried a more ingratiating manner . ` If you are Hook , ' he said almost humbly , ` come tell me , who am I ? ' ' A codfish , ' replied the voice , ` only a codfish . ' ' A codfish ! ' Hook echoed blankly ; and it was then , but not till then , that his proud spirit broke .
