Was it not brave of Wendy?
It was well for those boys then that there was one among them who could sniff danger even in his sleep.

Peter sprang erect, as wide awake at once as a dog, and with one warning cry he roused the others.
He stood motionless, one hand to his ear.
"Pirates!" he cried.

The others came closer to him.

A strange smile was playing about his face, and Wendy saw it and shuddered.

While that smile was on his face no one dared address him; all they could do was to stand ready to obey.
