Then she came to a page which was such a blaze of ictures that one hardly noticed the writing. Hardly.but he did notice the first words. They were， An infallible pell to make beautiful her that uttereth it beyond thet of mortals. Lucy peered at the pictures with her face lose to the page， and though they had seemed crowded nd muddlesome before， she found she could now see them uite clearly. The first was a picture of a girl standing at reading.desk reading in a huge book. And the girl was ressed exactly like Lucy. In the next picture Lucy （for the irl in the picture was Lucy herself） was standing up with er mouth open and a rather terrible expression on her ce， chanting or reciting something. In the third picture he beauty beyond the lot of mortals had come to her. It as strange， considering how small the pictures had looked t first， that the Lucy in the picture now seemed quite as ig as the real Lucy； and they looked into each other‘s eyes nd the real Lucy looked away after a few minutes because he was dazzled by the beauty of the other Lucy； though she ould still see a sort of likeness to herself in that beautiful ce. And now the pictures came crowding on her thick and st. She saw herself throned on high at a great tournament Calormen and all the Kings of the world fought becausef her beauty. After that it turned from tournaments to real ars， and all Narnia and Archenland， Telmar and Calormen， alma and Terebinthia， were laid waste with the fury of the ings and dukes and great lords who fought for her favour. hen it changed and Lucy， still beautiful beyond the lot of ortals， was back in England. And Susan （who had always een the beauty of the family） came home from America. he Susan in the picture looked exactly like the real Susan nly plainer and with a nasty expression. And Susan wasjealous of the dazzling beauty of Lucy， but that didn’t matter a bit because no one cared anything about Susan now.
