mes by night as well察but caspians party had on the whole the worst of it。
at last there came a night when everything had gone as badly as possible察 and the rain which had been falling heavily all day had ceased at nightfall only to give place to raw cold。 that morning caspian had arranged what was his biggest battle yet察 and all had hung their hopes on it。 he察with most of the dwarfs察was to have fallen on the kings right wing at daybreak察and then察when they were heavily engaged察giant wimbleweather察with the centaurs and some of the fiercest beasts察was to have broken out from another place and endeavoured to cut the kings right off from the rest of the army。 but it had all failed。 no one had warned caspian because no one in these later days of narnia remembered that giants are not at all clever。 poor wimbleweather察 though as brave as a lion察was a true giant in that respect。 he had broken out at the wrong time and from the wrong place察and both his party and caspians had suffered badly and done the enemy little harm。 the best of the bears had been hurt察a centaur terribly wounded察and there were few in caspians party who had not lost blood。 it was a gloomy pany that huddled under the dripping trees to eat their scanty supper。
the gloomiest of all was giant wimbleweather。 he knew it was all his fault。 he sat in silence shedding big tears which collected on the end of his nose and then fell off with a huge splash on the whole bivouac of the mice察who had just been beginning to get warm and drowsy。 they all jumped up察shaking the water out of their ears and wringing their little blankets察and asked the giant in shrill but forcible voices whether he thought they werent wet enough without this sort of thing。 and then other people woke up and told the mice they had been enrolled as scouts and not as a concert party察and asked why they couldnt keep quiet。 and wimbleweather tiptoed away to find some place where he could be miserable in peace and stepped on somebodys tail and somebody they said afterwards it was a fox bit him。 and so everyone was out of temper。
but in the secret and magical chamber at the heart of the how察king caspian察with cornelius and the badger and nikabrik and trumpkin察were at council。 thick pillars of ancient workmanship supported the roof。 in the centre was the stone itself ´ a stone table察split right down the centre察and covered with what had once been writing of some kind此but ages of wind and rain and snow had almost worn them away in old times when the
stone table had stood on the hilltop察and the mound had not yet been built above it。 they were not using the table nor sitting round it此it was too magic a thing for any mon use。 they sat on logs a little way from it察and between them was a rough wooden table察on which stood a rude clay lamp lighting up their pale faces and throwing big shadows on the walls。
;if your majesty is ever to use the horn察─said trufflehunter察 i think the time has now e。; caspian had of course told them of his treasure several days ago。
;we are certainly in great need察─answered caspian。 ;but it is hard to be sure we are at our greatest。 supposing there came an even worse need and we had already used it垂
;by that argument察─said nikabrik察 your majesty will never use it until it is too late。
;i agree with that察─said doctor cornelius。
;and what do you think察trumpkin拭─asked caspian。
;oh察as for me察─said the red dwarf察who had been listening with plete indifference察 your majesty knows i think the horn ´ and that bit of broken stone over there and your great king peter ´ and your lion aslan ´ are all eggs in moonshine。 its all one to me when your majesty blows the horn。 all i insist on is that the army is told nothing about it。 theres no good raising hopes of magical help which as i think are sure to be disappointed。
;then in the name of aslan we will wind queen susans horn察─said caspian。
;there is one thing察sire察─said doctor cornelius察 that should perhaps be done first。 we do not know what form the help will take。 it might call aslan himself from oversea。 but i think it is more likely to call peter the high king and his mighty consorts down from the high past。 but in either case察i do not think we can be sure that the help will e to this very spot ´
;you never said a truer word察─put in trumpkin。
;i think察─went on the learned man察 that they ´ or he will e back to one or other of the ancient places of narnia。 this察where we now sit察is the most ancient and most deeply magical of all察and here察i think察the answer is likeliest to e。 but there are two others。 one lantern waste察up´river察west of beaversdam察where the royal children first appeared in narnia察as the records tell the other is down at the river´ mouth察where their castle of cair paravel once stood。 and if aslan himself es察that would be the best place for meeting him too察for every story says that he is the son of the great emperor´over´the´sea察and over the sea he will pass。 i should like very much to send messengers to both places察to lantern waste and the river´mouth察to receive them ´ or him or it。
;just as i thought察─muttered trumpkin。 ;the first result of all this foolery is not to bring us help but to lose us two fighters。
;who would you think of sending察doctor cornelius拭─asked caspian。
;squirrels are best for getting through enemy country without being caught察─said trufflehunter。
;all our squirrels and we havent many察─said nikabrik察 are rather flighty。 the only one id trust on a job like that would be pattertwig。
;let it be pattertwig察then察─said king caspian。 ;and who for our other messenger拭i know youd go察trufflehunter察but you havent the speed。 nor you察doctor cornelius。
;i wont go察─said nikabrik。 ;with all these humans and beasts about察there must be a dwarf here to see that the dwarfs are fairly treated。
;thimbles and thunderstorms ─cried trumpkin in a rage。 ;is that how you speak to the king拭send me察sire察ill go。
;but i thought you didnt believe in the horn察trumpkin察─said caspian。
;no more i do察your majesty。 but whats that got to do with it拭i might as well die on a wild goose chase as die here。 you are my king。 i know the difference between giving advice and taking orders。 youve had my advice察and now its the time for orders。
;i will never forget this察trumpkin察─said caspian。 ;send for pattertwig察 one of you。 and when shall i blow the horn垂
;i would wait for sunrise察your majesty察─said doctor cornelius。 ;that sometimes has an effect in operations of white magic。
a few minutes later pattertwig arrived and had his task explained to him。 as he was察like many squirrels察full of courage and dash and energy and excitement and mischief not to say conceit察he no sooner heard it than he was eager to be off。 it was arranged that he should run for lantern waste while trumpkin made the shorter journey to the river´mouth。 after a hasty meal they both set off with the fervent thanks and good wishes of the king察the badger察and cornelius。

CHAPTER EIGHT

how they left the island
;and so察─said trumpkin for察as you have realized察it was he who had been telling all this story to the four children察sitting on the grass in the ruined hall of cair paravel ´ ;and so i put a crust or two in my pocket察left behind all weapons but my dagger察and took to the woods in the grey of the morning。 id been plugging away for many hours when there came a sound that id never heard the like of in my born days。 eh察i wont forget that。 the whole air was full of it察loud as thunder but far longer察 cool and sweet as music over water察but strong enough to shake the woods。 and i said to myself察 if thats not the horn察call me a rabbit。 and a moment later i wondered why he hadnt blown it sooner´
;what time was it拭─asked edmund。
;between nine and ten of the clock察─said trumpkin。
;just when we were at the railway station ─said all the children察and looked at one another with shining eyes。
;please go on察─said lucy to the dwarf。
;well察as i was saying察i wonde
