“It was your Highness‘s ancestor， Caspian the First，” said Doctor Cornelius， “who first conquered Narnia and made it his kingdom. It was he who brought all your nation into the country. You are not native Narnians at all. You are all Telmarines.that is， you all came from the Land of Telmar， far beyond the Western Mountains. That is why Caspian the First is called Caspian the Conqueror.”
“Please， Doctor，” asked Caspian one day， “who lived in Narnia before we all came here out of Telmar？”
“No men.or ver y few.lived in Narnia before the Telmarines took it，” said Doctor Cornelius.
“Then who did my great.great.grandcesters conquer？” “Whom， not who， your Highness，” said Doctor Cornelius.
“Perhaps it is time to turn from History to Grammar.” “Oh please， not yet！” said Caspian.
“I mean， wasn’t there a battle？ Why is he called Caspianthe Conqueror if there was nobody to fight with him？”
“I said there were very few men in Narnia，” said the Doctor， looking at the little boy very strangely through his great spectacles.
