As the Lion seemed to have finished， Jill thought she should say something. So she said， “Thank you very much. I see.”
“Child，” said Aslan， in a gentler voice than he had yet used， “perhaps you do not see quite as well as you think. But the first step is to remember. Repeat to me， in order， the four signs.”
Jill tried， and didn’t get them quite right. So the Lion corrected her， and made her repeat them again and again till she could say them perfectly. He was very patient over this， so that when it was done， Jill plucked up courage to ask：
“Please， how am I to get to Narnia？”
“On my breath，” said the Lion. “I will blow you into the west of the world as I blew Eustace.”
“Shall I catch him in time to tell him the first sign？ But I suppose it won‘t matter. If he sees an old friend， he’s sure to go and speak to him， isn‘t he？”
“You will have no time to spare，” said the Lion. “That is why I must send you at once. Come. Walk before me to the edge of the cliff.”
