Of cour the children’s eyes turo follow the lion; but the sight they saw was so wonderful that they soon fot about him.Everywhere the statues were ing to life.The courtyard looked no longer like a muum; it looked more like a zoo.Creatures were running after Aslan and dang round him till he was almost hidden in the crowd.Instead of all that deadly white the courtyard was now a blaze of clossy chestnut sides of taurs, indigo horns of unis, dazzling plumage of birds, reddy-brown of foxes, dogs and satyrs, yellow stogs and crimson hoods of dwarfs; and the birch-girls in silver, and the beech-girls in fresh, transparent green, and the larch-girls in green sht that it was almost yellow.And instead of the deadly silehe whole place rang with the sound of happy rs, brayings, yelpings, barkings, squealings, gs, neighings, stampings, shouts, hurrahs, songs and laughter.

“Oh!”said Susan in a different tone.“Look!I wonder—I mean, is it safe?”
