“Now，” said Tirian， “we go due North from here.by good fortune ‘tis a starry night.and it will be much shorter than our journey this morning， for then we went round.about but now we shall go straight. If we are challenged， then do you two hold your peace and I will do my best to talk like a curst， cruel， proud lord of Calormen. If I draw my sword then thou， Eustace， must do likewise and let Jill leap behind us and stand with an arrow on the string. But if I cry ’Home‘， then fly for the Tower both of you. And let none try to fight on.not even one stroke.after I have given the retreat： such false valour has spoiled many notable plans in the wars. And now， friends， in the name of Aslan let us go forward.”
Out they went into the cold night. All the great Northern stars were burning above the tree.tops. The North.Star of that world is called the Spear.Head： it is brighter than our Pole Star.
