“It’s his shadow，”said Lucy．
“I do believe you’re right，Lu，”said Edmund．“I can’t think how I didn’t see it before．But where is he？”
“With his shadow，of course．Can’t you see him？”
“Well，I almost thought I did-for a moment．It’s such a rum light．”
“Get on，King Edmund，get on，”came Trumpkin’s voice from behind and above: and then，farther behind and still nearly at the top，Peter’s voice saying，“Oh，buck up，Susan．Give me your hand．Why，a baby could get down here．And do stop grousing．”
In a few minutes they were at the bottom and the roaring of water filled their ears．Treading delicately，like a cat，Aslan stepped from stone to stone across the stream．In the middle he stopped，bent down to drink，and as he raised his shaggy head，dripping from the water，he turned to face them again．This time Edmund saw him．“Oh，Aslan！”he cried，darting forward．But the Lion whisked round and began padding up the slope on the far side of the Rush．
“Peter，Peter，”cried Edmund．“Did you see？”
“I saw something，”said Peter．“But it’s so tricky in this moonlight．On we go，though，and three cheers for Lucy．I don’t feel half so tired now，either．”
Aslan without hesitation led them to their left，farther up the gorge．The whole journey was odd and dream—like the roaring stream，the wet grey grass，the glimmering cliffs which they were approaching，and always the glorious，silently pacing Beast ahead．Everyone except Susan and the Dwarf could see him now．
Presently they came to another steep path，up the face of the farther precipices．These were far higher than the ones they had just descended，and the journey up them was a long and tedious zig-zag．Fortunately the Moon shone right above the gorge so that neither side was in shadow．
