They had been just as surprised as Edmund when they saw the winter vanishing and the whole wood passing in a few hours or so from January to May. They hadn‘t even known for certain （as the Witch did） that this was what would happen when Aslan came to Narnia. But they all knew that it was her spells which had produced the endless winter； and therefore they all knew when this magic spring began that something had gone wrong， and badly wrong， with the Witch’s schemes. And after the thaw had been going on for some time they all realized that the Witch would no longer be able to use her sledge. After that they didn‘t hurry so much and they allowed themselves more rests and longer ones. They were pretty tired by now of course； but not what I’d call bitterly tired.only slow and feeling very dreamy and quiet inside as one does when one is coming to the end of a long day in the open. Susan had a slight blister on one heel.
