〃no；　theyre　not；〃　said　peter；　still　leading　the　way　into　the　thickest wood。　〃theyre　all　here。　they　were　brought　down　in　bundles　this　morning。　its　all　arranged。”
〃was　that　what　aslan　was　talking　to　you　and　susan　about　this　morning？〃 asked　lucy。
〃yes　…　that　and　other　things；〃　said　peter；　his　face　very　solemn。　〃i　cant tell　it　to　you　all。
there　were　things　he　wanted　to　say　to　su　and　me　because　were　not　ing back　to　narnia。”
〃never？〃　cried　edmund　and　lucy　in　dismay。
〃oh；　you　two　are；〃　answered　peter。　〃at　least；　from　what　he　said；　im　pretty sure　he　means　you　to　get　back　some　day。　but　not　su　and　me。　he　says　were　getting　too old。”
〃oh；　peter；〃　said　lucy。　〃what　awful　bad　luck。　can　you　bear　it？”
〃well；　i　think　i　can；〃　said　peter。　〃its　all　rather　different　from　what　i thought。　youll　understand　when　it　es　to　your　last　time。　but；　quick；　here　are　our things。”
it　was　odd；　and　not　very　nice；　to　take　off　their　royal　clothes　and　to　e back　in　their　school　things　（not　very　fresh　now）　into　that　great　assembly。　one　or　two　of the　nastier　telmarines　jeered。　but　the　other　creatures　all　cheered　and　rose　up　in honour　of　peter　the　high　king；　and　queen　susan　of　the　horn；　and　king　edmund；　and　queen　lucy。 there　were　affectionate　and　（on　lucys　part）　tearful　farewells　with　all　their　old friends　…　animal　kisses；　and　hugs　from　bulgy　bears；　and　hands　wrung　by　trumpkin；　and　a　last tickly；　whiskerish　embrace　with　trufflehunter。　and　of　course　caspian　offered　the horn　back　to　susan　and　of　course　susan　told　him　to　keep　it。　and　then；　wonderfully　and terribly；　it　was　farewell　to　aslan　himself；　and　peter　took　his　place　with　susans　hands　on his　shoulders　and　edmunds　on　hers　and　lucys　on　his　and　the　first　of　the　telmarines　on lucys；　and　so　in　a　long　line　they　moved　forward　to　the　door。　after　that　came　a　moment which　is　hard　to　describe；　for　the　children　seemed　to　be　seeing　three　things　at　once。　one was　the　mouth　of　a　cave　opening　into　the　glaring　green　and　blue　of　an　island　in　the pacific；　where　all　the　telmarines　would　find　themselves　the　moment　they　were　through　the　door。　the second　was　a　glade　in　narnia；　the　faces　of　dwarfs　and　beasts；　the　deep　eyes　of aslan；　and　the　white　patches　on　the　badgers　cheeks。　but　the　third　（which　rapidly swallowed　up　the
other　two）　was　the　grey；　gravelly　surface　of　a　platform　in　a　country station；　and　a　seat　with　luggage　round　it；　where　they　were　all　sitting　as　if　they　had　never moved　from　it　…　a　little　flat　and　dreary　for　a　moment　after　all　they；　had　been　through；　but also；　unexpectedly；　nice　in　its　own　way；　what　with　the　familiar　railway　smell　and the　english　sky　and　the　summer　term　before　them。
〃well！〃　said　peter。　〃we　have　had　a　time。”
〃bother！〃　said　edmund。　〃ive　left　my　new　torch　in　narnia。”
