Three days later Mr. Noah arrived by elephantFrontispiece

'Lor', ain't it pretty!' said the parlour-maid17

Beyond it he could see dim piles that looked like churches and houses27

'Here—I say, wake up, can't you?'33

'Top floor, if you please,' said the gaoler politely49

And behind him the clatter of hot pursuit61

He heard quite a loud, strong, big voice say, 'That's better'85

The gigantic porch lowered frowningly above him91

He walked on and on and on97

'Silence, trespasser,' said Mr. Noah, with cold dignity115

Then something hard and heavy knocked him over127

Mr. Noah whispered ardently, 'Don't!'139

So, all down the wide clear floor, Lucy danced157

On the top of a very large and wobbly camel169

It was heavy work turning the lions over179

Slowly they came to the great gate of the castle193

'If your camel's not quite fresh I can mount you both'199

They loved looking on211

A long procession toiled slowly up it of animals in pairs223

Walked straight into the arms of Helen243

He induced them to build him a temple of solid gold261

Plunged headlong over the edge269

The bucket began to go up281

Lucy threw herself across the well parapet287

And all the while it had to go on turning that handle299

They leapt in and disappeared321
