The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe On the sledge, driving the reindeer,
sat a fat dwarf who would have been about three feet high if he had
been standing. He was dressed in polar bear's fur and on his head
he wore a red hood with a long gold tassel hanging down from its
point; his huge beard covered his knees and served him instead of a
rug. But behind him, on a much higher seat in the middle of the
sledge sat a very different person - a great lady, taller than any
woman that Edmund had ever seen. She also was covered in white fur
up to her throat and held a long straight golden wand in her right
hand and wore a golden crown on her head. Her face was white - not
merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing-sugar, except
for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects,
but proud and cold and stern. |
