Adventure in NARNIA (34)

Adventure in NARNIA (34)

The Queen let another drop fall from her bottle on to the snow, and instantly there appeared a round box, tied with green silk ribbon, which, when opened, turned out to contain several pounds of the best Turkish Delight.

Each piece was sweet and light to the very centre and Edmund had never tastedanything more delicious.
He was quite warm now, and very comfortable.

While he was eating, the Queen kept asking him questions.
At farst Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one's mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought oly of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight  as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the queen should be so inquisitive.

She got him to tell her that he had one brother and two sisters, and that one of his sisters had already been in Narnia and had met a Faun there, and that no one except himself  and his brother and his sisters knew anything about Narnia.
