“What was it?”said Eusta a whisper.
“I have en it once before,”said Tirian.“But that time it was carved in stone and overlaid with gold and had solid diamonds for eyes.It was when I was no older than thou, and had gone as a guest to the Tisroc’s court in Tashbaaook me into the great temple of Tash.There I saw it, carved above the altar.”
“Then that—that thing—was Tash?”said Eustace.
But instead of answering him Tirian slipped his arm behind Jill’s shoulders and said,“How is it with you, Lady?”
“A-all right,”said Jill, taking her hands away from her pale fad trying to smile.“I’m all right.It only made me feel a little sick for a moment.”
“It ems, then,”said the Uni,“that there is a real Tash, after all.”
“Yes,”said the Dwarf.“And this fool of an Ape, who didn’t believe in Tash, will get more than he bargained for！He called for Tash; Tash has e.”
“Where has it—he—the Thing—goo?”said Jill.

“North into the heart of Narnia,”said Tirian.“It has e to dwell among us.They have called it and it has e.”
“Ho, ho, ho！”chuckled the Dwarf, rubbing his hairy hands together.“It will be a surpri for the Ape.People shouldn’t call for demons uhey really mean what they say.”
