“Ah! You‘ve woken up at last, Daughter of Eve,” he said. Perhaps you’d better wake the Son of Adam. You‘ve got to e off in a few minutes and two Centaurs have very kindly ffered to let you ride on their backs down to Cair Paravel.“ e added in a lower voice. “Of course, you realize it is a ost special and unheard.of honour to be allowed to ride a entaur. I don’t know that I ever heard of anyone doing it efore. It wouldn‘t do to keep them waiting.”
“Where’s the Prince?” was the first question of Eustace nd Puddleglum as soon as they had been wakened.
“He‘s gone down to meet the King, his father, at Cair aravel,” answered the Faun, whose name was Orruns. “His ajesty’s ship is expected in harbour any moment. It seems hat the King met Aslan. I don‘t know whether it was in vision or face to face.before he had sailed far, and Aslan urned him back and told him he would find his long.lost on awaiting him when he reached Narnia.”
Eustace was now up and he and Jill set about helping Orruns o get the breakfast. Puddleglum was told to stay in bed. A entaur called Cloudbirth, a famous healer, or (as Orruns alled it) a ’leech‘, was coming to see to his burnt foot.
