Tirian nodded. But he turned to the children and said： Now， friends， it is time for you to go hence into your own orld. Doubtless you have done all that you were sent to o.““B.but we’ve done nothing，” said Jill who was shivering， ot with fear exactly but because ever ything was so orrible.
“Nay，” said the King， “you loosed me from the tree： you lided before me like a snake last night in the wood and ook Puzzle： and you， Eustace， killed your man. But you re too young to share in such a bloody end as we others ust meet tonight or， it may be， three days hence. I entreat ou.nay， I command you.to return to your own place. I hould be put to shame if I let such young warriors fall in attle on my side.”
“No， no， no，” said Jill （ver y white when she began peaking and then suddenly very red and then white again.）“We won‘t， I don’t care what you say. We‘re going to stick to you whatever happens， aren’t we， Eustace？”
“Yes， but there‘s no need to get so worked up about it，” said Eustace， who had stuck his hands in his pockets （forgetting how very odd that looks when you are wearing a mail shirt）. “Because， you see， we haven’t any choice. What‘s the good of talking about our going back？ How？ We’ve got no magic for doing it！”
