THERE was no doubt about the Magic this time．Down and down they rushed，first through darkness and then through a mass of vague and whirling shapes which might have been almost anything．It grew lighter．Then suddenly they felt that they were standing on something solid．A moment later everything came into focus and they were able to look about them．
“What a queer place ！”said Digory．
“I don’t like it，”said Polly with something like a shudder．
What they noticed first was the light．It wasn’t like sunlight， and it wasn’t like electric light，or lamps，or candles，or any other light they had ever seen．It was a dull，rather red light，not at all cheerful．It was steady and did not flicker．They were standing on a flat paved surface and buildings rose all around them．There was no roof overhead；they were in a sort of courtyard．The sky was extraordinarily dark-a blue that was almost black．When you had seen that sky you wondered that there should be any light at all．
“It’s very funny weather here，”said Digory．“I wonder if we’ve arrived just in time for a thunderstorm；or an eclipse．”
“I don’t like it，”said Polly．
Both of them，without quite knowing why，were talking in whispers．And though there was no reason why they should still go on holding hands after their jump，they didn’t let go．
The walls rose very high all round that courtyard．They had many great windows in them，windows without glass，through which you saw nothing but black darkness．Lower down there were great pillared arches，yawning blackly like the mouths of railway tunnels．It was rather cold．
The stone of which everything was built seemed to be red，but that might only be because of the curious light．It was obviously very old．Many of the flat stones that paved the courtyard had cracks across them．None of them fitted closely together and the sharp corners were all worn off．One of the arched doorways was half filled up with rubble．The two children kept on turning round and round to look at the different sides of the courtyard．One reason was that they were afraid of somebody-or something-looking out of those windows at them when their backs were turned．
“Do you think anyone lives here ？”said Digory at last，still in a whisper．
