“Rather！” said Lucy， and then ran towards the far.off patch of daylight as quickly as her legs would carry her. And presently instead of rough branch brushing past her she felt coats， and instead of crunching snow under her feet she felt wooden board and all at once she found herself jumping out of the wardrobe into the same empty room from which the whole adventure had started. She shut the wardrobe door tightly behind her and looked around， panting for breath. It was still raining and she could hear the voices of the others in the passage.
“I’m here，” she shouted. “I‘m here. I’ve come back， I‘m all right.”
Edmund And The Wardrobe
Lucy ran out of the empty room into the passage and found the other three.
“It’s all right，” she repeated， “I‘ve come back.”
“What on earth are you talking about， Lucy？” asked Susan. “Why，”said Lucy in amazement， “haven’t you all beenwondering where I was？ ““So you‘ve been hiding， have you？” said Peter. “Poor old Lu， hiding and nobody noticed！ You’ll have to hide longer than that if you want people to start looking for you.”
“But I‘ve been away for hours and hours，” said Lucy. The others all stared at one another.
