Adventure in NARNIA (43)

" You didn't think anything at all, " said Peter, " it's just spite. You've always liked beastly to anyone smaller than yourself; we've seen that at school before now. "

" Do stop it, " said Susan; " it won't make things any better having a row between you two. Let's go and find Lucy. "

It was not surprising that when they found Lucy, a good deal later, everyone could see that she had been crying.  Nothing they could say to her made any difference. She stuck to her story and said;
" I don't care what you think, and I don't care what you say. You can tell the Professor or you can write to Mother or you can do anything you like. I know I've met a Faun in there and ー I wish I'd stayed there and you are all beasts, beasts. "

It was an un pleasant evening. Lucy was miserable and Edmund was beginning to feel that his plan wasn't working as well as he had expected.

The two older ones were really beginning to think that Lucy was out of her mind. They stood in the passage talking about it in whispers long after she had gone to bed.

The result was the next morning they decided that they really would go and tell the whole thing to the Professor.
" He'll write to Father if he thinks there is really something wrong with Lu, " said peter; " it's getting beyond us. "

So they went and knocked at the study door, and the Professor said, " Come in, " and got up and found chairs for them and said he was quite at their disposal.
