“What an extraordinary place！” cried Lucy. “All those stone animals.and people too！ It‘s.it’s like a museum.”
“Hush，” said Susan， “Aslan‘s doing something.”
He was indeed. He had bounded up to the stone lion and breathed on him. Then without waiting a moment he whisked round.almost as if he had been a cat chasing its tail.and breathed also on the stone dwarf， which （as you remember） was standing a few feet from the lion with his back to it. Then he pounced on a tall stone dryad which stood beyond the dwarf， turned rapidly aside to deal with a stone rabbit on his right， and rushed on to two centaurs. But at that moment Lucy said，“Oh， Susan！ Look！ Look at the lion.”
