“You’d better have shoved your grey snout in a hornets’ nest，Badger，than suggest that I am the blab，”said Nikabrik．“Take it back，or—”
“Oh，stop it，both of you，”said King Caspian．“I want to know what it is that Nikabrik keeps on hinting we should do．But before that，I want to know who those two strangers are whom he has brought into our council and who stand there with their ears open and their mouths shut．”
“They are friends of mine，”said Nikabrik．“And what better right have you yourself to be here than that you are a friend of Trumpkin’s and the Badger’s？ And what right has that old dotard in the black gown to be here except that he is your friend？ Why am I to be the only one who can’t bring in his friends？”
“His Majesty is the King to whom you have sworn allegiance，”
said Trufflehunter sternly．
“Court manners，court manners，”sneered Nikabrik．“But in this hole we may talk plainly．You know—and he knows that this Telmarine boy will be king of nowhere and nobody in a week unless we can help him out of the trap in which he sits．”
“Perhaps，”said Cornelius，“your new friends would like to speak for themselves？ You there，who and what are you？”
“Worshipful Master Doctor，”came a thin，whining voice．“So please you，I’m only a poor old woman，I am，and very obliged to his Worshipful Dwarfship for his friendship，I’m sure．His Majesty，bless his handsome face，has no need to be afraid of an old woman that’s nearly doubled up with the rheumatics and hasn’t two sticks to put under her kettle．I have some poor little skill—not like yours，Master Doctor，of course—in small spells and cantrips that I’d be glad to use against our enemies if it was agreeable to all concerned．For I hate’em．Oh yes．No one hates better than me．”
“That is all most interesting and—er—satisfactory，”said Doctor Cornelius．“I think I now know what you are，Madam．Perhaps your other friend，Nikabrik，would give some account of himself？”
A dull，grey voice at which Peter’s flesh crept replied，“I’m hunger．I’m thirst．Where I bite，I hold till I die，and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy’s body and bury it with me．I can fast a hundred years and not die．I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze．I can drink a river of blood and not burst．Show me your enemies．”
