And they were saying things like “Who‘s got the Witch？”.“I thought you had her.” “I didn’t see her after I knocked the knife out of her hand.I was after the dwarf.do you mean to say she‘s escaped？” “A chap can’t mind everything at once.what‘s that？ Oh， sorry， it’s only an old stump！” But just at this point Edmund went off in a dead faint.
Presently the centaurs and unicorns and deer and birds （they were of course the rescue party which Aslan had sent in the last ） all set off to go back to the Stone Table， carrying Edmund with them. But if they could have seen what happened in that valley after they had gone， I think they might have been surprised.
