CHAPTER ONE

灏弜iaoshuo璇磘xt澶╁爞
lucy looks into a wardrobe  

once there were four children whose names were peter; susan; edmund and  lucy。 this story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away  from london during the war because of the air…raids。 they were sent to the house of an  old professor who lived in the heart of the country; ten miles from the nearest railway  station and two miles from the nearest post office。 he had no wife and he lived in a very  large house with a housekeeper called mrs macready and three servants。 (their names were  ivy; margaret and betty; but they do not e into the story much。) he himself was a very  old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his  head; and they liked him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet  them at the front door he was so odd…looking that lucy (who was the youngest) was a  little afraid of him; and edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep  on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it。

as soon as they had said good night to the professor and gone upstairs on  the first night; the boys came into the girls room and they all talked it over。

〃weve fallen on our feet and no mistake;〃 said peter。 〃this is going to be  perfectly splendid。 that old chap will let us do anything we like。鈥

〃i think hes an old dear;〃 said susan。

〃oh; e off it!〃 said edmund; who was tired and pretending not to be  tired; which always made him bad…tempered。 〃dont go on talking like that。鈥

〃like what?〃 said susan; 〃and anyway; its time you were in bed。鈥

〃trying to talk like mother;〃 said edmund。 〃and who are you to say when im  to go to bed? go to bed yourself。鈥

〃hadnt we all better go to bed?〃 said lucy。 〃theres sure to be a row if  were heard talking here。鈥

〃no there wont;〃 said peter。 〃i tell you this is the sort of house where  no ones going to mind what we do。 anyway; they wont hear us。 its about ten minutes walk  from here down to that dining…room; and any amount of stairs and passages in  between。鈥

〃whats that noise?〃 said lucy suddenly。 it was a far larger house than she  had ever been in before and the thought of all those long passages and rows of doors  leading into empty rooms was beginning to make her feel a little creepy。

〃its only a bird; silly;〃 said edmund。

〃its an owl;〃 said peter。 〃this is going to be a wonderful place for  birds。 i shall go to bed now。 i say; lets go and explore tomorrow。 you might find anything in a  place like this。

did you see those mountains as we came along? and the woods? there might be  eagles。

there might be stags。 therell be hawks。鈥

〃badgers!〃 said lucy。   〃foxes!〃 said edmund。   〃rabbits!〃 said susan。   but when next morning came there was a steady rain falling; so thick that  when you looked out of the window you could see neither the mountains nor the woods  nor even the stream in the garden。

〃of course it would be raining!〃 said edmund。 they had just finished their  breakfast with the professor and were upstairs in the room he had set apart for them … a  long; low room with two windows looking out in one direction and two in another。

〃do stop grumbling; ed;〃 said susan。 〃ten to one itll clear up in an hour  or so。 and in the meantime were pretty well off。 theres a wireless and lots of books。鈥

〃not for me〃said peter; 〃im going to explore in  the house。鈥

everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventures began。 it was the  sort of house that you never seem to e to the end of; and it was full of unexpected  places。 the first few doors they tried led only into spare bedrooms; as everyone had expected  that they would; but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures and there  they found a suit of armour; and after that was a room all hung with green; with a harp in  one corner; and then came three steps down and five steps up; and then a kind of little  upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony; and then a whole series of rooms that  led into each other and were lined with books … most of them very old books and some  bigger than a bible in a church。 and shortly after that they looked into a room that was  quite empty except for one big wardrobe; the sort that has a looking…glass in the door。  there was nothing else in the room at all except a dead blue…bottle on the window… sill。   〃nothing there!〃 said peter; and they all trooped out again … all except  lucy。 she stayed behind because she thought it would be worth while trying the door of the  wardrobe; even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked。 to her surprise it  opened quite easily; and two moth…balls dropped out。

looking into the inside; she saw several coats hanging up … mostly long fur  coats。 there was nothing lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur。 she  immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against  them; leaving the door open; of course; because she knew that it is very foolish to shut  oneself into any wardrobe。 soon she went further in and found that there was a second row of  coats hanging up behind the first one。 it was almost quite dark in there and she  kept her arms stretched out in front of her so as not to bump her face into the back of  the wardrobe。 she took a step further in … then two or three steps always expecting to feel  woodwork against the tips of her fingers。 but she could not feel it。

〃this must be a simply enormous wardrobe!〃 thought lucy; going still  further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her。 then she  noticed that there was something crunching under her feet。 〃i wonder is that more mothballs?〃  she thought; stooping down to feel it with her hand。 but instead of feeling the hard;  smooth wood of the floor of the wardrobe; she felt something soft and powdery and  extremely cold。 〃this is very queer;〃 she said; and went on a step or two further。

next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was  no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly。 〃why; it is just  like branches of trees!〃 exclaimed lucy。 and then she saw that there was a light ahead of  her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been; but a long  way off。

something cold and soft was falling on her。 a moment later she found that  she was standing in the middle of a wood at night…time with snow under her feet and  snowflakes falling through the air。

lucy felt a little frightened; but she felt very inquisitive and excited as  well。 she looked back over her shoulder and there; between the dark tree trunks; she could  still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of the empty room  from which she had set out。 (she had; of course; left the door open; for she knew that  it is a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe。) it seemed to be still daylight  there。 〃i can always get back if anything goes wrong;〃 thought lucy。 she began to walk forward;  crunch…crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light。 in about  ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamp…post。 as she stood looking at it;  wondering why there was a lamp…post in the middle of a wood and wondering what to do  next; she heard a pitter patter of feet ing towards her。 and soon after that a very  strange person stepped out from among the trees into the light of the lamp…post。

he was only a little taller than lucy herself and he carried over his head  an umbrella; white with snow。 from the waist upwards he was like a man; but his legs  were shaped like a goats (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he  had goats hoofs。

he also had a tail; but lucy did not notice this at first because it was  neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the  snow。 he had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too。 he  had a strange; but pleasant little face; with a short pointed beard and curly hair; and  out of the hair there stuck two horns; one on each side of his forehead。 one of his hands; as i  have said; held  

the umbrella: in the other arm he carried several brown…paper parcels。 what  with the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his christmas  shopping。 he was a faun。 and when he saw lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he  dropped all his parcels。

〃goodness gracious me!〃 exclaimed the faun。

what lucy found there  〃good evening;〃 said lucy。 but the faun was so busy picking up its parcels  that at first it did not reply。 when it had finished it made her a little bow。

〃good evening; good evening;〃 said the faun。 〃excuse me … i dont want to  be inquisitive … but should i be right in thinking that you are a daughter of eve?鈥

〃my names lucy;〃 said she; not quite understanding him。

〃but you are … forgive me … you are what they call a girl?〃 said the faun。

〃of course im a girl;〃 said lucy。

〃you are in fact human?鈥

〃of course im human;〃 said lucy; still a little puzzled。

〃to be sure; to be sure;〃 said the faun。 〃how stupid of me! but ive never  seen a son of adam or a daughter of eve before。 i am delighted。 that is to say …〃 and  then it stopped as if it had been going to say something it had not intended but had  remembered in time。

〃delighted; delighted;〃 it went on。 〃allow me to introduce myself。 my name  is tumnus。鈥

〃i am very pleased to meet you; mr tumnus;〃 said lucy。

〃and may i ask; o lucy daughter of eve;〃 said mr tumnus; 〃how you have e  into narnia?鈥

〃narnia? whats that?〃 said lucy。

〃this is the land of narnia;〃 said the faun; 〃where we are now; all that  lies between the lamp…post and the great castle of cair paravel on the eastern sea。 and you  … you have e from the wild woods of the west?鈥

〃i … i got in through the wardrobe in the spare room;〃 said lucy。

〃ah!〃 said mr tumnus in a rather melancholy voice; 〃if only i had worked  harder at geography when i was a little faun; i should no doubt know all about those  strange countries。 it is too late now。鈥

〃but they arent countries at all;〃 said lucy; almost laughing。 〃its only  just back there … at least … im not sure。 it is summer there。鈥

〃meanwhile;〃 said mr tumnus; 〃it is winter in narnia; and has been for ever  so long; and we shall both catch cold if we stand here talking in the snow。 daughter of  eve from the far land of spare oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of  war drobe; how would it be if you came and had tea with me?鈥

〃thank you very much; mr tumnus;〃 said lucy。 〃but i was wondering whether i  ought to be getting back。鈥

〃its only just round the corner;〃 said the faun; 〃and therell be a  roaring fire … and toast …
