“But it isn’t dark，you poor stupid Dwarfs，”said Lucy.“Can’t you see ？ Look up! Look round! Can’t you see the sky and the trees and the flowers ？ Can’t you see me ？”
“How in the name of all Humbug can I see what ain’t there ？ And how can I see you any more than you can see me in this pitch darkness ？”
“But I can see you，”said Lucy.“I’ll prove I can see you. You’ve got a pipe in your mouth.”
“Anyone that knows the smell of baccy could tell that，”said Diggle．
“Oh the poor things! This is dreadful，”said Lucy. Then she had an idea. She stopped and picked some wild violets.“Listen， Dwarf，”she said.“Even if your eyes are wrong，perhaps your nose is all right：can you smell that ？”She leaned across and held the fresh，damp flowers to Diggle’s ugly nose. But she had to jump back quickly in order to avoid a blow from his hard little fist．
“None of that!”he shouted.“How dare you! What do you mean by shoving a lot of filthy stable-litter in my face ？ There was a thistle in it too. It’s like your sauce! And who are you anyway ？”
“Earth-man，”said Tirian，“she is the Queen Lucy，sent hither by Aslan out of the deep past. And it is for her sake alone that I，Tirian your lawful King，do not cut all your heads from your shoulders，proved and twice-proved traitors that you are.”
“Well if that doesn’t beat everything!”exclaimed Diggle.“How can you go on talking all that rot ？ Your wonderful Lion didn’t come and help you，did he ？ Thought not. And now-even now-when you’ve been beaten and shoved into this black hole，just the same as the rest of us，you’re still at your old game. Starting a new lie! Trying to make us believe we’re none of us shut up，and it ain’t dark，and heaven knows what.”
“There is no black hole，save in your own fancy，fool，”cried Tirian.“Come out of it.”And，leaning forward，he caught Diggle by the belt and the hood and swung him right out of the circle of Dwarfs. But the moment Tirian put him down，Diggle darted back to his place among the others，rubbing his nose and howling：
“Ow! Ow! What d’you do that for! Banging my face against the wall. You’ve nearly broken my nose.”
