“This is the greatest shame and sorrow that could have llen on us，” said the Prince. “We have sent a brave lady to the hands of enemies and stayed behind in safety.” “Don’t paint it too black， Sir，” said Puddleglum. “We‘re ot very safe except for death by starvation in this hole.”
“I wonder am I small enough to get through where Jill id？” said Eustace.
What had really happened to Jill was this. As soon as she ot her head out of the hole she found that she was looking own as if from an upstairs window， not up as if through a ap.door. She had been so long in the dark that her eyes ouldn’t at first take in what they were seeing： except that he was not looking at the daylit， sunny world which she o wanted to see.

It was at that moment that she had shouted down to uddleglum to let her stand up on his shoulders.
