Such was the Chief Voice’s story， but very much shortened，because I have left out what the Other Voices said. Actually he never got out more than six or seven words without being interrupted by their agreements and encouragements， which drove the Narnians nearly out of their minds with impatience. When it was over there was a very long silence. “But，” said Lucy at last， “what‘s all this got to do with us？
I don’t understand.”
“Why， bless me， if I haven‘t gone and left out the whole oint，” said the Chief Voice.
“That you have， that you have，” roared the Other Voices ith great enthusiasm. “No one couldn’t have left it out eaner and better. Keep it up， Chief， keep it up.”
“Well， I needn‘t go over the whole story again，” began the hief Voice.
“No. Certainly not，” said Caspian and Edmund.
