So these Kings and Queens entered the thicket， and before they had gone a score of paces they all remembered that the thing they had seen was called a lamp.post， and before they had gone twenty more they noticed that they were making their way not through branches but through coats. And the next moment they all came tumbling out of a wardrobe door into the empty room， and They were no longer Kings and Queens in their hunting array but just Peter， Susan， Edmund and Lucy in their old clothes. It was the same day and the same hour of the day on which they had all gone into the wardrobe to hide. Mrs Macready and the visitors were still talking in the passage； but luckily they never came into the empty room and so the children weren‘t caught.
