Most people were wildly looking round for Jadis and the horse． No one took any notice of the children for no one had seen them go or noticed them coming back．As for Uncle Andrew，what between the state of his clothes and the honey on his face，he could not have been recognized by anyone．Fortunately the front door of the house was open and the housemaid was standing in the doorway staring at the fun （what a day that girl was having ！）so the children had no difficulty in bustling Uncle Andrew indoors before anyone asked any questions.
He raced up the stirs before them and at first they were very afraid he was heading for his attic and meant to hide his remaining magic rings．But they needn’t have bothered．What he was thinking about was the bottle in his wardrobe，and he disappeared at once into his bedroom and locked the door．When he came out again（which was not for a long time）he was in his dressinggown and made straight for the bathroom．
“Can you get the other rings，Poll ？”said Digory．“I want to go to Mother．”
“Right．See you later，”said Polly and clattered up the attic stairs．
Then Digory took a minute to get his breath，and then went softly into his Mother’s room．And there she lay，as he had seen her lie so many other times，propped up on the pillows，with a thin，pale face that would make you cry to look at．Digory took the Apple of Life out of his pocket．
And just as the Witch Jadis had looked different when you saw her in our world instead of in her own，so the fruit of that mountain garden looked different too．There were of course all sorts of coloured things in the bedroom；the coloured counterpane on the bed，the wallpaper，the sunlight from the window，and Mother’s pretty，pale blue dressing jacket．But the moment Digory took the Apple out of his pocket，all those things seemed to have scarcely any colour at all．Every one of them，even the sunlight，looked faded and dingy．The brightness of the Apple threw strange lights on the ceiling．Nothing else was worth looking at：you couldn’t look at anything else．And the smell of the Apple of Youth was as if there was a window in the room that opened on Heaven．
“Oh，darling，how lovely，”said Digory’s Mother．
“You will eat it，won’t you ？ Please，”said Digory．
“I don’t know what the Doctor would say，”she answered．“But really-I almost feel as if I could．”
