Tiger Lily

{EAV:f33d6c40e8b76b13} The Peter Pan Alphabet By Oliver Herford (1863–1935). New York Charles Scribner’s Sons 1907. COPYRIGHT 1907 BY OLIVER HERFORD WITH PICTURES BY THE AUTHOR PUBLISHED JANUARY 1907.

Peter had saved Tiger Lily from a dreadful fate, and now there was nothing she and her braves would not do for him. All night they sat above, keeping watch over the home under the ground and awaiting the big attack by the pirates which obviously could not be much longer delayed. Even by day they hung about, smoking the pipe of peace, and looking almost as if they wanted tit-bits to eat.

They called Peter the Great White Father, prostrating themselves before him; and he liked this tremendously, so that it was not really good for him.

"The great white father," he would say to them in a very lordly manner, as they grovelled at his feet," is glad to see the Piccaninny warriors protecting his wigwam from the pirates."

"Me Tiger Lily," that lovely creature would reply, "Peter Pan save me, me his velly nice friend. Me no let pirates hurt him."

Bringing up the rear, the place of greatest danger, comes Tiger Lily, proudly erect, a princess in her own right. She is the most beautiful of dusky Dianas and the belle of the Piccaninnies, coquettish, cold and amorous by turns; there is not a brave who would not have the wayward thing to wife, but she staves off the altar with a hatchet.

A ROUND ROBIN TO J. M. BARRIE

From His Humble and Devoted Servants
THE ALPHABET

The Lord forgive if we transgress
Thus to familiarly address
One of our betters.
But Jamie, do you no recall
The slate whereon you learned to scrawl
Your Humble Letters?

Well we remember how you drew
Our shapely features all askew,
Unflattering really.
You made A lame and B too fat
And C too curly—what of that!
We loved you dearly.

From that first day we owned your spell,
And just because you used us well
We served you blindly.
Why, even when you put us through
A fearsome Scottish Reel, we knew
You meant it kindly.

Jamie, ’tis said Grand Tales there be
Still biding in the A B C—
If this be true,
Quick Jamie! Cast your golden net.
Maybe we have the grandest yet
In store for you.



I’s for the Indian Girl

Peter Pan was too coy for the Indian Miss;
She sighed for his scalp—all she got was a kiss.

K stands for a Kiss

K stands for a Kiss? Oh, stern featured K!
Who would have suspected—You’d leanings that way!
Peter called his a Thimble—(I think it sounds tame
To call Kisses Thimbles—but what’s in a Name!)

Captain Hook and Peter Pan

Yet Tiger Lily looked calm and impassive. She was the daughter of an Indian chief, too proud to offer a vain resistance, ready to die a fearless death, as befits the daughter of a chief.

Determined to save her, Peter thought of a clever trick. Imitating the wicked Captain's voice he called out: "Cut her bonds and let her go!"

"But, Captain —"

"At once, do you hear," cried Peter, "or I'll plunge my hook in you."

"Better do what the Captain orders," said Starkey nervously.

The effect was marvelous; the astonished buccaneers, fearing to disobey their Captain, released Tiger Lily, who leaped into the water and swam towards the Boys.

The Pirates had turned and were rowing back, when they saw Hook swimming towards them, and learned from him how they had been duped. Horribly enraged, he chased them out of the boat, leaving them to swim back to the ship as best they might, while he himself set about recapturing Tiger Lily.

But the Pirates once safely out of the way, Peter and his friends went back to the rock to attack the Captain, who was now single-handed. A fierce fight ensued, Hook using his iron prong to some purpose on poor Peter, while the Boys, seizing Hook's boat, rowed off with Tiger Lily in it. At last, finding himself outdone, the Captain gave up the fight, and in all haste swam back to his ship.

Peter, left alone on the rock with Wendy, found her so exhausted that she could neither swim nor fly any farther. A mermaid caught Wendy by the feet and began pulling her gently into the water. But Peter, feeling her slip, was just in time to draw her back. With difficulty he managed to help her to a firm footing, but the tide was rising, and they were both in great danger. As he watched the water silently creeping nearer, Peter almost despaired, for Hook had wounded him in the fight, and he could neither fly nor swim.

Peter Pan and Captain Hook

Peter Pan and Captain Hook: 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.'

'Ay, James Hook,' came the stern answer, 'it is all my doing.'

'Proud and insolent youth,' said Hook, 'prepare to meet thy doom.'

'Dark and sinister man,' Peter answered, 'have at thee.'

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[Pg 227] 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.

'Now!' 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.

Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

"Tap, tap, tap." Somebody was knocking at the door.

"Who's there?" asked Peter sleepily.

"Tap, tap, tap."

He got up and opened the door. Tinker Bell, tinkling excitedly, flew into the room.

"The Pirates have captured them!" she tinkled, " the Pirates have captured them!" As Peter excitedly snatched up his dagger and sharpened it on the grindstone, he caught sight of Tinker Bell in his glass of medicine. He soon learned the reason when his little fairy told him in a weak voice that it was poisoned, and that she had drunk the poison as the only way to save his life. It was indeed an act of sell-sacrifice; for too well did Tink know how much Peter loved Wendy, and that no warning of hers would prevent him from keeping his promise.

Poor Tinker Bell was dying! She would most certainly have died if Peter, in a frenzy of grief and with tears in his eyes, had not made this passionate appeal to all children: "Do you believe in fairies? If you do, clap your hands and that will save poor Tinker Bell." There were no children there and it was night time, but he addressed all who might be dreaming of the Ncver-Land and who were therefore nearer to him than you think. "Do you believe?" he cried.

As his plea rang round the world, there came an echo of sound as of millions of little hands clapping, as if all the children throughout the world knew suddenly that of course they believed in fairies.

The result was magical. Tinker Bell was saved; her light, which had been getting fainter and fainter, grew brighter and brighter again; the merry sound of tinkling (her way of speaking to Peter) which had almost died away, now grew stronger and stronger. She was once more the bright little fairy that escorted Peter to the Darling nursery, and again under her guidance, Peter set forth to rescue the Boys and Wendy.

He swore this terrible oath: "Hook or me this time!"

Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again."
