Adventure in NARNIA (45)
Susan looked at him very hard and was quite sure from the expression on his face that he was not making fun of them.
" But how could it be true, sir ? " said Peter.
" Why do you say that ? " asked the professor.
" Well. for one thing, " said peter, " if it was real why couldn't everyone find this country every time they go to the wardrobe ? I mean, there was nothing there when we looked; even Lucy didn't pretend there was. "
" What has that to do with it ? " said the Professor.
" Well. sir, if things are real, they're there all the time. "
" Are they ? " said the professor; and Peter did not know quite what to say.
" But there was no time, " said Susan.
" Lucy had had no time to have gone anywhere, even if there was such a place. She came running after us the very moment, and she pretended to have been away for hours. "
" That is the very thing that makes her story so likely to be true, " sadi the Professor.
" If there really is a door in this house that leads to some other world ( and I should warn you that this is a very strange house, and even I know very little about it ) ー if, I say, she had got into another world, I should not be at all surprised to find that the other world had a separate time of its own; so that however long you stayed there it would never take up any of our time. On the other hand, I don't think many girls of her age would invent that idea for themselves. If she had been pretending, she would have hidden for a reasonable time before coming out and telling her story. "
" But do you really mean it, sir ? " said peter, " that there could be other worlds ー all over the place, just round the corner ー like that ? "
" Nothing is more probable, " said the Professor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, " I wonder what they do teach them at these schools. "
