“I never thought of that，Su，”said Peter．“Of course，now you put it that way，I see．No one could say you had bagged a coat as long as you leave it in the wardrobe where you found it． And I suppose this whole country is in the wardrobe．”
They immediately carried out Susan’s very sensible plan．The coats were rather too big for them so that they came down to their heels and looked more like royal robes than coats when they had put them on．But they all felt a good deal warmer and each thought the others looked better in their new get-up and more suitable to the landscape．
“We can pretend we are Arctic explorers，”said Lucy．
“This is going to be exciting enough without pretending，” said Peter，as he began leading the way forward into the forest．There were heavy darkish clouds overhead and it looked as if there might be more snow before night．
“I say，”began Edmund presently，“oughtn’t we to be bearing a bit more to the left，that is，if we are aiming for the lamp-post ？”He had forgotten for the moment that he must pretend never to have been in the wood before．The moment the words were out of his mouth he realized that he had given himself away．Everyone stopped；everyone stared at him．Peter whistled.
“So you really were here，”he said，“that time Lu said she’d met you in here-and you made out she was telling lies．”
There was a dead silence．“Well，of all the poisonous little beasts-”said Peter，and shrugged his shoulders and said no more. There seemed，indeed，no more to say，and presently the four resumed their journey；but Edmund was saying to himself，“I’ll pay you all out for this，you pack of stuck-up，self—satisfied prigs．”
“Where are we going anyway ？”said Susan，chiefly for the sake of changing the subject．
“I think Lu ought to be the leader，”said Peter；“goodness knows she deserves it．Where will you take us，Lu ？”
“What about going to see Mr. Tumnus ？”said Lucy．“He’s the nice Faun I told you about．”
