Adventure in NARNIA (17)

" That's the worst of it, " said Mr Tumnus with a deep groan.
" I'm a kidnapper for her, that's what I am. Look at me, Daughter of Eve.  Would you believe  that I'M the sort ofFaun to meet a poor innocent child in the wood, one that had never done me any harm, and pretend to be friendly with it, and invite it home to my cave, all for the sake of lulling it asleep and then handing it over to the White Witch ? "

" No, " said Lucy.
" I'm sure you wouldn't do anything of the sort. "

" But I have. " said the Faun.

" Well, " said Lucy rather slowly ( for she wanted to be truthful and yet not be too hard on him ), " well, that was pretty bad. But you're so sorry for it that I'm sure you will never do it again. "

" Daughter of Eve, don't you understand ? " said the Faun.
" It isn't something I have done. I'm doing it now, this very moment. "
