“Ha！”said the Queen，speaking more to herself than to him. “A door．A door from the world of men ！ I have heard of such things. This may wreck all．But he is only one，and he is easily dealt with .”As she spoke these words she rose from her seat and looked Edmund full in the face，her eyes flaming；at the same moment she raised her wand．Edmund felt sure that she was going to do something dreadful but he seemed unable to move．Then，just as he gave himself up for lost，she appeared to change her mind．
“My poor child，”she said in quite a different voice，“how cold you look ！ Come and sit with me here on the sledge and I will put my mantle round you and we will talk．”
Edmund did not like this arrangement at all but he dared not disobey；he stepped on to the sledge and sat at her feet，and she put a fold of her fur mantle round him and tucked it well in．
“Perhaps something hot to drink ？”said the Queen．“Should you like that ？”
“Yes please，your Majesty，”said Edmund，whose teeth were chattering．
The Queen took from somewhere among her wrappings a very small bottle which looked as if it were made of copper．Then， holding out her arm，she let one drop fall from it on to the snow beside the sledge．Edmund saw the drop for a second in mid-air， shining like a diamond．But the moment it touched the snow there was a hissing sound and there stood a jewelled cup full of something that steamed．The dwarf immediately took this and handed it to Edmund with a bow and a smile；not a very nice smile．Edmund felt much better as he began to sip the hot drink．It was something he had never tasted before，very sweet and foamy and creamy， and it warmed him right down to his toes．
“It is dull，Son of Adam，to drink without eating，”said the Queen presently．“What would you like best to eat ？”
“Turkish Delight，please，your Majesty，”said Edmund．
The Queen let another drop fall from her bottle on to the snow，and instantly there appeared a round box，tied with green silk ribbon，which，when opened，turned out to contain several pounds of the best Turkish Delight．Each piece was sweet and light to the very centre and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious．He was quite warm now，and very comfortable．
