“I say,”said the girl.“It was you, wasn’t it, eared to us that night when we were all at supper?Nearly a week ago.”

“A week, fair maid?”said Tirian.“My dream led me into your world scarce ten minutes since.”

“It’s the usual muddle about times, Pole,”said the boy.

“I remember now,”said Tirian.“That too es in all the old tales.The time of your strange land is different from ours.But if we speak of Time,’tis time to be gone from here:for my enemies are clo at hand.Will you e with me?”

“Of cour,”said the girl.“It’s you we’ve e to help.”

Tirian got to his feet ahem rapidly down hill, Southward and away from the stable.He knew where he meant to go but his first aim was to get to rocky places where they would leave no trail, and his d to cross some water so that they would leave no st.This took them about an hour’s scrambling and wading and while that was going on nobody had any breath to talk.But even so, Tiria on stealing gla his panions.The wonder of walking beside the creatures from another world made him feel a little dizzy, but it also made all the old stories em far more real than they had ever emed before...anything might happen now.

“Now,”said Tirian as they came to the head of a little valley which ran down before them among young birch trees,“we are out of danger of tho villains for a spad may walk more easily.”The sun had rin, dew-drops were twinkling on every branch, and birds were singing.
