Peter Pan 015 – Chapter XV.“HOOK OR ME THIS TIME” – 001

Odd things happen to all of us on our way through life without our noticing for a time that they have happened.
Thus, to take an instance, we suddenly discover that we have been deaf in one ear for we don’t know how long, but, say, half an hour.
Now such an experience had come that night to Peter.
When last we saw him he was stealing across the island with one finger to his lips and his dagger at the ready.
He had seen the crocodile pass by without noticing anything peculiar about it, but by and by he remembered that it had not been ticking.
At first he thought this eerie, but soon concluded rightly that the clock had run down.

Without giving a thought to what might be the feelings of a fellow-creature thus abruptly deprived of its closest companion, Peter began to consider how he could turn the catastrophe to his own use; and he decided to tick, so that wild beasts should believe he was the crocodile and let him pass unmolested.
He ticked superbly, but with one unforeseen result.
The crocodile was among those who heard the sound, and it followed him, though whether with the purpose of regaining what it had lost, or merely as a friend under the belief that it was again ticking itself, will never be certainly known, for, like slaves to a fixed idea, it was a stupid beast.
