“I’d love to stretch my legs too,”said Caspian.“I tell you what.Why shouldn’t we go ashore in the boat and send it back, and then we could walk across Felimath and let the Dawn Treader pick us up on the other side ?”
If Caspian had been as experienced then as he became later on in this voyage he would not have made this suggestion;but at the moment it seemed an excellent one.“Oh do let’s,”said Lucy.
“You’ll come,will you ?”said Caspian to Eustace,who had come on deck with his hand bandaged.
“Anything to get off this blasted boat,”said Eustace.
“Blasted ?”said Drinian.“How do you mean ?”
“In a civilized country like where I come from,”said Eustace,“the ships are so big that when you’re inside you wouldn’t know you were at sea at all.”
“In that case you might just as well stay ashore,”said Caspian. “Will you tell them to lower the boat,Drinian.”
The King,the Mouse,the two Pevensies,and Eustace all got into the boat and were pulled to the beach of Felimath.When the boat had left them and was being rowed back they all turned and looked round.They were surprised at how small the Dawn Treader looked.
Lucy was of course barefoot,having kicked off her shoes while swimming,but that is no hardship if one is going to walk on downy turf.It was delightful to be ashore again and to smell the earth and grass,even if at first the ground seemed to be pitching up and down like a ship,as it usually does for a while if one has been at sea.It was much warmer here than it had been on board and Lucy found the sand pleasant to her feet as they crossed it.There was a lark singing.
