I think, myself, I would rather have been in Polly's position. So while Digory was staring out of the dining-room window, Polly was lying in bed, and both were thinking how terribly slowly the time could go.

Specifically, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was one of those houses that get very quiet and dull in the afternoon and always seem to smell of mutton.And (you were waiting for this one I bet): The Chronicles of Narnia. And in between these false alarms, for what seemed hours and hours, the clock ticked on and one big fly - high up and far out of reach buzzed against the window.

Nothing in this world will do much." Then they both lowered their voices and said a lot more that he could not hear.If he had heard that bit about the land of youth a few days ago he would have thought Aunt Letty was just talking without meaning anything in particular, the way grown-ups do, and it wouldn't have interested him. But poor, dear little Mabel! I'm afraid it would need fruit from the land of youth to help her now. "I'm sure if anything could do her good these would. A lady called with some grapes for Digory's Mother and as the dining-room door was open, Digory couldn't help overhearing Aunt Letty and the lady as they talked in the hall."What lovely grapes!" came Aunt Letty's voice.

He forgot all about watching for the Witch. And then Mother well again. He could hunt through them all. There must be worlds you could get to through every pool in the wood.
Her teeth were bared, her eyes shone like fire, and her long hair streamed out behind her like a comet's tail. On the roof - not sitting, but standing on the roof swaying with superb balance as it came at full speed round the corner with one wheel in the air - was Jadis the Queen of Queens and the Terror of Charn. There was no one in the driver's seat. Why, it's Her."First came the hansom. Great Scott, it's coming here. "Fire-engine? I wonder what house is on fire.
She settled herself astride and leaned forward, whispering things in its ear. The Witch, with a magnificent jump, had sprung clear just in time and landed on the horse's back. The hansom crashed into the lamp-post and shattered into several pieces. It galloped madly up to the front door, missing the lamp-post by an inch, and then reared up on its hind legs. Its nostrils were wide and red and its sides were spotted with foam.
A second hansom dashed up close behind the first: out of it there jumped a fat man in a frock-coat and a policeman. Only a splendid rider could have stayed on its back.Before Digory had recovered his breath a good many other things began to happen. It was on its hind legs again in a moment, and its neigh was like a scream it was all hoofs and teeth and eyes and tossing mane.
Digory guessed that the old gentleman must be Uncle Andrew but you couldn't see his face his tall hat had been bashed down over it."That's the woman, that's the woman," cried the fat man, pointing at Jadis. Several people rushed forward to help him but as one pulled him one way and another another, perhaps he would have got out quite as quickly on his own. They wanted to see the fun.Meanwhile an old gentleman had begun to struggle shakily out of the ruins of the first hansom. Windows shot up in all the houses of that street and a housemaid or a butler appeared at every front door. Last of all came a crowd of people on foot: all very hot with running, but obviously enjoying themselves. After it, came about twenty people (mostly errand boys) on bicycles, all ringing their bells and letting out cheers and cat-calls.
Take that 'at off, see?"This was more easily said than done. "You'll find this is no laughing matter. "Now then," said the policeman, turning to him, "What's all this?""Womfle - pomfy - shomf," came Uncle Andrew's voice from inside the hat."None of that now," said the policeman sternly. 'E put 'er up to it."The old gentleman, who was certainly Uncle Andrew, had just succeeded in standing up and was rubbing his bruises. Gor! ain't she strong then!""You ought to put a nice raw beefsteak on it, Mister, that's what it wants," said a butcher's boy."Now then," said the most important of the policemen, "what's all this 'ere?""I tell you she - " began the fat man, when someone else called out:"Don't let the old cove in the cab get away.
Then the Witch wheeled the horse round so that she faced the crowd and its hind-legs were on the footpath. The horse had aimed a kick at him which would probably have killed him. "Are you in charge of that there young woman?""Look out!" called several voices, and the policeman jumped a step backwards just in time. If someone could give me a small glass of brandy - ""Now you attend to me, if you please," said the policeman, taking out a very large note book and a very small pencil. Dear me, I'm terribly shaken.
If you know anything about horses, and especially if you had seen what a state that horse was in at the moment, you will realize that this was a ticklish thing to do. And in order to get round to the other side he had to pass between the horse's hoofs and the railings of the "area" that surrounded the house for the Ketterleys' house had a basement. This wasn't at all easy because, on the side nearest to him, there were too many people.
And if the young woman goes on hexcitin' 'im, there'll be murder done. 'Is father was a hofficer's charger in the cavalry, 'e was. 'Tain't an ordinary 'orse. "I know that 'orse better'n you do.
She tossed her new weapon up in the air, caught it again, brandished it, and urged the horse forward."Now's my chance," thought Digory. If she had lost some magical powers in our world, she had not lost her strength she could break an iron bar as if it were a stick of barleysugar. Lightly, easily, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world, she stretched up her right arm and wrenched off one of the cross-bars of the lamp-post. Then, without warning, she did a thing that was dreadful to see. But the cheers died away into roars of laughter and she saw that they had only been making fun of her: A change came over her expression and she changed the knife to her left hand.
If only the brute would stay still for a moment he might catch the Witch's heel.
