“Well，at least，”said Jill，“I hope the end of this one is millions of millions of millions of years away-hallo! what are we stopping for ？”
The King and Eustace and the Dwarf were all staring up at the sky. Jill shuddered，remembering what horrors they had seen already. But it was nothing of that sort this time. It was small，and looked black against the blue．
“I dare swear，”said the Unicorn，“from its flight，that it is a Talking bird.”
“So think I，”said the King.“But is it a friend，or a spy of the Ape’s ？”
“To me，Sire，”said the Dwarf，“it has a look of Far-sight the Eagle.”
“Ought we to hide under the trees ？”said Eustace．
“Nay，”said Tirian，“best stand still as rocks. He would see us for certain if we moved.”
“Look! He wheels，he has seen us already，”said Jewel.“He is coming down in wide circles.”
“Arrow on string，Lady，”said Tirian to Jill.“But by no means shoot till I bid you. He may be a friend.”
If one had known what was going to happen next it would have been a treat to watch the grace and ease with which the huge bird glided down. He alighted on a rocky crag a few feet from Tirian， bowed his crested head，and said in his strange eagle’s-voice，“Hail， King.”
