“Even in your world，my son，that is not what a star is but only what it is made of．And in this world you ave already met a star，for I think you have been with Coriakin．”
“Is he a retired star，too ？”said Lucy．
“Well，not quite the same，”said Ramandu．“It was not quite as a rest than he was set to govern the Duffers．You might call it a punishment．He might have shone for thousands of years more in the southern winter sky if all had gone well．”
“What did he do，Sir ？”asked Caspian．
“My son，”said Ramandu，“it is not for you，a son of Adam， to know what faults a star can commit．But come，we waste time in such talk．Are you yet resolved ？Will you sail further east and come again，leaving one to return no more，and so break the enchantment ？ Or will you sail westward ？”
“Surely，Sire，”said Reepicheep，“there is no question about that ？ It is very plainly part of our quest to rescue these three lords from enchantment．”
“I think the same，Reepicheep，”replied Caspian．“And even if it were not so，it would break my heart not to go as near the World’s End as the Dawn Treader will take us．But I am thinking of the crew．They signed on to seek the seven lords，not to reach the rim of the Earth．If we sail east from here we sail to find the edge，the utter east．And not one knows how far it is．They’re brave fellows，but I set signs that some of them are weary of the voyage and long to have our prow pointing to Narnia again．I don’t think should take them further without their knowledge an consent． And then there’s the poor Lord Rhoop．He’s broken man．”
“My son，”said the star，“it would be no use，even though you wished it，to sail for the World’s End with men unwilling or men deceived．That is not how great unenchantments are achieved．
They must know where they go and why．But who is this broken man you speak of ？”
Caspian told Ramandu the story of Rhoop．
