“We were sent here by Aslan，” said Eustace in a low voice. “Tu.whoo， tu.whoo！” said the Owl， ruffling out its athers. “This is almost too much for me， so early in the vening. I’m not quite myself till the sun‘s down.”
“And we’ve been sent to find the lost Prince，” said Jill， who ad been anxiously waiting to get into the conversation. “It‘s the first I’ve heard about it，” said Eustace. “What rince？”
“You had better come and speak to the Lord Regent t once，” it said. “That‘s him， over there in the donkey arriage； Trumpkin the Dwarf.” The bird turned and began ading the way， muttering to itself， “Whoo！ Tu.whoo！ What to.do！ I can’t think clearly yet. It‘s too early.”
“What is the King’s name？” asked Eustace.
