“I’m afraid this Miraz knows his work,”muttered the Doctor.But hardly had he said this when there was such a clapping and baying and throwing up of hoods among the Old Narnians that it was nearly deafening.
“What was it? What was it?”asked the Doctor.“My old eyes missed it.”
“The High King has pricked him in the arm-pit,”said Caspian,still clapping.“Just where the arm-hole of the hauberk let the point through.First blood.”
“It’s looking ugly again now,though,”said Edmund.“Peter’s not using his shield properly.He must be hurt in the left arm.”
It was only too true.Everyone could see that Peter’s shield hung limp.The shouting of the Telmarines redoubled.
“You’ve seen more battles than I,”said Caspian.“Is there any chance now?”
“Precious little,”said Edmund.“I suppose he might just do it.With luck.”
“Oh,why did we let it happen at all?”said Caspian.
