And， if possible， she must not be allowed to go rampaging about London either. Digory had not been in the drawing. room when she tried to “blast” Aunt Letty， but he had seen her “blast” the gates at Charn： so he knew her terrible powers and did not know that she had lost any of them by coming into our world. And he knew she meant to conquer our world. At the present moment， as far as he could see， she might be blasting Buckingham Palace or the Houses of Parliament： and it was almost certain that quite a number of policemen had by now been reduced to little heaps of dust. And there didn’t seem to be anything he could do about that. “But the rings seem to work like magnets，” thought Digory. “If I can only touch her and then slip on my yellow， we shall both go into the Wood between the Worlds. I wonder， will she go all faint again there？ Was that something the place does to her， or was it only the shock of being pulled out of her own world？ But I suppose I‘ll have to risk that. And how am I to find the beast？ I don’t suppose Aunt Letty would let me go out， not unless I said where I was going. And I haven‘t got more than twopence. I’d need any amount of money for buses and trams if I went looking all over London. Anyway， I haven‘t the faintest idea where to look. I wonder if Uncle Andrew is still with her.”
