Le capitaine Crochet n'est pas un pirate comme les autres : élégant, cultivé, il porte de longs cheveux bouclés et parle comme un gentleman. Barrie a révélé plus tard qu'il avait étudié à Eton, la plus célèbre des public schools anglaises. Il est obsédé par le good form : ce qui compte, c'est de bien se comporter... même quand on est un méchant ! Pour exprimer la conséquence : so + adjectif + that, such a + adjectif + nom + that.
