“But it’s all nonsense,”said Edmund,very taken aback.
“Of course it’s all nonsense,”said Peter,“that’s just the point. Lu was perfectly all right when we left home,but since we’ve been down here she seems to be either going queer in the head or else turning into a most frightful liar.But whichever it is,what good do you think you’ll do by jeering and nagging at her one day and encouraging her the next ?”
“I thought-I thought,”said Edmund;but he couldn’t think of anything to say.
“You didn’t think anything at all,”said Peter;“it’s just spite.You’ve always liked being beastly to anyone smaller than yourself;we’ve seen that at school before now.”
“Do stop it,”said Susan;“it won’t make things any better having a row between you two.Let’s go and find Lucy.”
It was not surprising that when they found Lucy,a good deal later,everyone could see that she had been crying.Nothing they could say to her made any difference.She stuck to her story and said:
“I don’t care what you think,and I don’t care what you say. You can tell the Professor or you can write to Mother or you can do anything you like.I know I’ve met a Faun in there and-I wish I’d stayed there and you are all beasts,beasts.”
It was an unpleasant evening.Lucy was miserable and Edmund was beginning to feel that his plan wasn’t working as well as he had expected.The two older ones were really beginning to think that Lucy was out of her mind.They stood in the passage talking about it in whispers long after she had gone to bed.
