“Good evening， good evening，” said the Faun. “Excuse me.I don’t want to be inquisitive.but should I be right in thinking that you are a Daughter of Eve？”
“My name‘s Lucy，” said she， not quite understanding him. “But you are.forgive me.you are what they call a girl？”
said the Faun.
“Of course I’m a girl，” said Lucy. “You are in fact Human？”
“Of course I‘m human，” said Lucy， still a little puzzled. “To be sure， to be sure，” said the Faun. “How stupid ofme！ But I’ve never seen a Son of Adam or a Daughter of Eve before. I am delighted. That is to say.” and then it stopped as if it had been going to say something it had not intended but had remembered in time. “Delighted， delighted，” it went on. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tumnus.”
“I am very pleased to meet you， Mr Tumnus，” said Lucy.
“And may I ask， O Lucy Daughter of Eve，” said MrTumnus， “how you have come into Narnia？” “Narnia？ What‘s that？” said Lucy.
“This is the land of Narnia，” said the Faun， “where we are now； all that lies between the lamp.post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea. And you.you have come from the wild woods of the west？”
“I.I got in through the wardrobe in the spare room，” said Lucy.
