And presently instead of rough branch brushing past her she felt coats， and instead of crunching snow under her feet she felt wooden board and all at once she found herself jumping out of the wardrobe into the same empty room from which the whole adventure had started. She shut the wardrobe door tightly behind her and looked around， panting for breath. It was still raining and she could hear the voices of the others in the passage.
“I’m here，” she shouted. “I‘m here. I’ve come back， I‘m all right.”
