Tirian got to his feet and led them rapidly down hill， Southward and away from the stable. He knew where he meant to go but his first aim was to get to rocky places where they would leave no trail，and his second to cross some water so that they would leave no scent. This took them about an hour’s scrambling and wading and while that was going on nobody had any breath to talk. But even so，Tirian kept on stealing glances at his companions. The wonder of walking beside the creatures from another world made him feel a little dizzy：but it also made all the old stories seem far more real than they had ever seemed before... anything might happen now．
“Now，”said Tirian as they came to the head of a little valley which ran down before them among young birch trees，“we are out of danger of those villains for a space and may walk more easily.”The sun had risen，dew-drops were twinkling on every branch，and birds were singing．
“What about some grub ？-I mean for you，Sir，we two have had our breakfast，”said the Boy．
Tirian wondered very much what he meant by“grub”，but when the Boy opened a bulgy satchel which he was carrying and pulled out a rather greasy and squashy packet，he understood. He was ravenously hungry，though he hadn’t thought about it till that moment. There were two hard-boiled egg sandwiches，and two cheese sandwiches，and two with some kind of paste in them. If he hadn’t been so hungry he wouldn’t have thought much of the paste，for that is a sort of food nobody eats in Narnia. By the time he had eaten all six sandwiches they had come to the bottom of the valley and there they found a mossy cliff with a little fountain bubbling out of it. All three stopped and drank and splashed their hot faces．
“And now，”said the girl as she tossed her wet hair back from her forehead，“aren’t you going to tell us who you are and why you were tied up and what it’s all about ？”
“With a good will，damsel，”said Tirian.“But we must keep on the march.”So while they went on walking he told them who he was and all the things that had happened to him.“And now，”he said at the end，“I am going to a certain tower，one of three that were built in my grandsire’s time to guard Lantern Waste against certain perilous outlaws who dwelled there in his day. By Aslan’s good will I was not robbed of my keys. In that tower we shall find stores of weapons and mail and some victuals also，though no better than dry biscuit. There also we can lie safe while we make our plans. And now，prithee，tell me who you two are and all your story.”
“I’m Eustace Scrubb and this is Jill Pole，”said the Boy.“And we were here once before，ages and ages ago，more than a year ago by our time，and there was a chap called Prince Rilian，and they were keeping this chap underground，and Puddleglum put his foot in-”
“Ha!”cried Tirian，“are you then that Eustace and that Jill who rescued King Rilian from his long enchantment ？”
