Without

more

words

they

fell

to

,

and

for

a

space

there

was

no

advantage

to

either

blade

.

Peter

was

a

superb

swordsman

,

and

parried

with

dazzling

rapidity

;

ever

and

anon

he

followed

up

a

feint

with

a

lunge

that

got

past

his

foe

's

defence

,

but

his

shorter

reach

stood

him

in

ill

stead

,

and

he

could

not

drive

the

steel

home

.

Hook

,

scarcely

his

inferior

in

brilliancy

,

but

not

quite

so

nimble

in

wrist

play

,

forced

him

back

by

the

weight

of

his

onset

,

hoping

suddenly

to

end

all

with

a

favourite

thrust

,

taught

him

long

ago

by

Barbecue

at

Rio

;

but

to

his

astonishment

he

found

this

thrust

turned

aside

again

and

again

.

Then

he

sought

to

close

and

give

the

quietus

with

his

iron

hook

,

which

all

this

time

had

been

pawing

the

air

;

but

Peter

doubled

under

it

and

,

lunging

fiercely

,

pierced

him

in

the

ribs

.

At

sight

of

his

own

blood

,

whose

peculiar

colour

,

you

remember

,

was

offensive

to

him

,

the

sword

fell

from

Hook

's

hand

,

and

he

was

at

Peter

's

mercy

.

'N

ow

!

'

cried

all

the

boys

;

but

with

a

magnificent

gesture

Peter

invited

his

opponent

to

pick

up

his

sword

.

Hook

did

so

instantly

,

but

with

a

tragic

feeling

that

Peter

was

showing

good

form

.

Hitherto

he

had

thought

it

was

some

fiend

fighting

him

,

but

darker

suspicions

assailed

him

now

.

Pan

,

who

and

what

art

thou

?

'

he

cried

huskily

.

'

I

'm

youth

,

I

'm

joy

,

'

Peter

answered

at

a

venture

,

'

I

'm

a

little

bird

that

has

broken

out

of

the

egg

.

'

This

,

of

course

,

was

nonsense

;

but

it

was

proof

to

the

unhappy

Hook

that

Peter

did

not

know

in

the

least

who

or

what

he

was

,

which

is

the

very

pinnacle

of

good

form

.
