"Where hast been, Corin?" said the lady, her hands still on Shasta's shoulders.
"I- I don't know," stammered Shasta.
"There it is, Susan," said the King. "I could get no tale out of him, true or false."
"Your Majesties! Queen Susan! King Edmund!" said a voice: and when Shasta turned to
look at the speaker he nearly jumped out of his skin with surprise. For this was one of
these queer people whom he had noticed out of the corner of his eye when he first came
into the room. He was about the same height as Shasta himself. From the waist upwards
he was like a man, but his legs were hairy like a goat's, and shaped like a goat's and he
had goat's hooves and a tail. His skin was rather red and he had curly hair and a short
pointed beard and two little horns. He was in fact a Faun, which is a creature Shasta had
never seen a picture of or even heard of. And if you've read a book called The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe you may like to know that this was the very same Faun, Tumnus
by name, whom Queen Susan's sister Lucy had met on the very first day when she found
her way into Narnia. But he was a good deal older now for by this time Peter and Susan
and Edmund and Lucy had been Kings and Queens of Narnia for several years.
"Your Majesties," he was saying, "His little Highness has had a touch of the sun. Look at
him! He is dazed. He does not know where he is."
Then of course everyone stopped scolding Shasta and asking him questions and he was
made much of and laid on a sofa and cushions were put under his head and he was given
iced sherbet in a golden cup to drink and told to keep very quiet.
Nothing like this had ever happened to Shasta in his life before. He had never even
imagined lying on anything so comfortable as that sofa or drinking anything so delicious
as that sherbet. He was still wondering what had happened to the others and how on earth
he was going to escape and meet them at the Tombs, and what would happen when the
real Corin turned up again. But none of these worries seemed so pressing now that he was
comfortable. And perhaps, later on, there would be nice things to eat!
Meanwhile the people in that cool airy room were very interesting. Besides the Faun
there were two Dwarfs (a kind of creature he had never seen before) and a very large
Raven.
The rest were all humans; grown-ups, but young, and all of them, both men and women,
had nicer faces and voices than most Calormenes. And soon Shasta found himself taking
an interest in the conversation. "Now, Madam," the King was saying to Queen Susan (the
lady who had kissed Shasta). "What think you? We have been in this city fully three
weeks. Have you yet settled in your mind whether you will marry this dark-faced lover of
yours, this Prince Rabadash, or no?"
