“I—I wonder if there’s any point in going on,”said Susan.“I mean, it doesn’t em particularly safe here and it looks as if it won’t be much fuher.And it’s getting colder every minute, and we’ve brought nothing to eat.What about just going home?”
“Oh, but we ’t, we ’t,”said Lucy suddenly.“don’t you e?We ’t just go home, not after this.It is all on my at that the poor Faun has got into this trouble.He hid me from the Witd showed me the way back.That’s what it means by f the Queen’s enemies and fraternizing with Humans.We simply must try to rescue him.”
“A lot we could do！said Edmund.“when we haven’t even got anything to eat！”
“Shut up—you！”said Peter, who was still very angry with Edmund.“What do you think, Susan?”
“I’ve a horrid feeling that Lu is right,”said Susan.“I don’t want to go a step further and I wish we’d never e.But I think we must try to do something for Mr.Whatever-his-name-is—I mean the Faun.”
“That’s what I feel too,”said Peter.“I’m worried about having no food with us.I’d vote foing bad getting something from the larder, only there doeso be aainty of getting into this try again when once you’ve got out of it.I think we’ll have to go on.”
“So do I,”said both the girls.
“If only we knew where the poor chap was imprisoned！”said Peter.
They were all still w what to do , when Lucy said.“Look！There’s a robin, with such a red breast.It’s the first bird I’ve en here.I say！—I wonder birds talk in Narnia?It almost looks as if it wao say something to us.”Theuro the Robin and said.“Plea, you tell us where Tumnus the Faun has been taken to?”As she said this she took a step towards the bird.It at once flew away but only as far as to the ree.There it perched and looked at them very hard as if it uood all they had been saying.Almost without notig that they had done so, the four childre a step or two o it.At this the Robin flew away again to the ree and once more looked at them very hard.
