"Nay, dear Prince," said the Doctor (and he too spoke in a whisper). "The great lords of
the upper sky know the steps of their dance too well for that. Look well upon them. Their
meeting is fortunate and means some great good for the sad realm of Narnia. Tarva, the
Lord of Victory, salutes Alambil, the Lady of Peace. They are just coming to their
nearest."
"It's a pity that tree gets in the way," said Caspian. "We'd really see better from the West
Tower, though it is not so high."
Doctor Cornelius said nothing for about two minutes, but stood still with his eyes fixed
on Tarva and Alambil. Then he drew a deep breath and turned to Caspian.
"There," he said. "You have seen what no man now alive has seen, nor will see again.
And you are right. We should have seen it even better from the smaller tower. I brought
you here for another reason."
Caspian looked up at him, but the Doctor's hood concealed most of his face.
"The virtue of this tower," said Doctor Cornelius, "is that we have six empty rooms
beneath us, and a long stair, and the door at the bottom of the stair is locked. We cannot
be overheard."
"Are you going to tell me what you wouldn't tell me the other day?" said Caspian.
"I am," said the Doctor. "But remember. You and I must never talk about these things
except here - on the very top of the Great Tower."
"No. That's a promise," said Caspian. "But do go on, please."
"Listen," said the Doctor. "All you have heard about Old Narnia is true. It is not the land
of Men. It is the country of Aslan, the country of the Waking Trees and Visible Naiads,
of Fauns and Satyrs, of Dwarfs and Giants, of the gods and the Centaurs, of Talking
Beasts. It was against these that the first Caspian fought. It is you Telmarines who
silenced the beasts and the trees and the fountains, and who killed and drove away the
Dwarfs and Fauns, and are now trying to cover up even the memory of them. The King
does not allow them to be spoken of."
"Oh, I do wish we hadn't," said Caspian. "And I am glad it was all true, even if it is all
over."
"Many of your race wish that in secret," said Doctor Cornelius.
"But, Doctor," said Caspian, "why do you say my race? After all, I suppose you're a
Telmarine too."
"Am I?" said the Doctor.
