That day, when it came to the afternoon and there was still no sign of a break in the weather, they decided to play hide-and-ek.Susan wa.“It”and as soon as the others scattered to hide, Lucy went to the room where the wardrobe was.She did not mean to hide in the wardrobe, becau she khat would only t the others talking again about the whole wretched business.But she did want to have one more look i; for by this time she was beginning to wonder herlf whether Narnia and the Faun had not been a dream.The hou was se and plicated and full of hiding-places that she thought she would have time to have one look into the wardrobe and then hide somewhere el.But as soon as she reached it she heard steps in the passage outside, and then there was nothing for it but to jump into the wardrobe and hold the door clod behind her.She did not shut it properly becau she khat it is very silly to shut onelf into a wardrobe, even if it is not a magie.
Now the steps she had heard were tho of Edmund; and he came into the room just in time to e Lucy vanishing into the wardrobe.He at once decided to get into it himlf—not becau he thought it a particularly good place to hide but becau he wao go on teasing her about her imaginary try.He opehe door.There were the coats hanging up as usual, and a smell of mothballs, and darkness and silence, and no sign of Lucy.“She thinks I’m Susan e to catch her,”said Edmund to himlf.“and so she’s keeping very quiet in at the back.”He jumped in and shut the door, fetting what a very foolish thing this is to do.Then he began feeling about for Lu the dark.He had expected to find her in a few ds and was very surprid when he did not.He decided to open the dain a in some light.But he could not find the door either.He didn’t like this at all and began groping wildly in every dire; he even shouted out.“Lucy！Lu！Where are you?I know you’re here.”
