`` Mine , Peter , '' said Tootles on his knees . `` Oh , dastard hand , '' Peter said , and he raised the arrow to use it as a dagger . Tootles did not flinch . He bared his breast . `` Strike , Peter , '' he said firmly , `` strike true . '' Twice did Peter raise the arrow , and twice did his hand fall . `` I can not strike , '' he said with awe , `` there is something stays my hand . '' All looked at him in wonder , save Nibs , who fortunately looked at Wendy . `` It is she , '' he cried , `` the Wendy lady , see , her arm ! '' Wonderful to relate -LSB- tell -RSB- , Wendy had raised her arm . Nibs bent over her and listened reverently . `` I think she said , ` Poor Tootles , ' '' he whispered . `` She lives , '' Peter said briefly . Slightly cried instantly , `` The Wendy lady lives . '' Then Peter knelt beside her and found his button . You remember she had put it on a chain that she wore round her neck . `` See , '' he said , `` the arrow struck against this . It is the kiss I gave her . It has saved her life . '' `` I remember kisses , '' Slightly interposed quickly , `` let me see it .
Ay , that 's a XXXXX . ''
