Adventure in NARNIA (35)

She seemed especially interested in the fact that there were four of them, and kept on coming back to it.

" You are sure there are just four of you ? "she asked.
" Two Son of Adam and two Daughter of Eve neither  more nor less ? " and  Edmund, with his mouth full of Turkish Delight, kept on saying, " Yes, I told you that before, " and forgetting  to call her, " Your majesty ", but she didn't seem to mind now.

But she did not offer him any more.

"Son of Adam, I should so much like to see your brother and your two sisters. Will you bring them to see me ? "

" I'll try, " said Edmund, still looking at the empty box.
