The Wardrobe

Chapter 1 Lucy looks into the wardrobe

Starting:

Once there were four children whose names are Peter, Susan, Edmund and lucy. This story is about something happened to them when they were sent away from london during a war because of the air-raids. They were sent to the house of an old professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife, he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and three servants. ( Their names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but they do not come into the story much). He himself was an very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew most of his face as well as his head, and they liked him almost at once; but in the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front door he was so odd--looking that lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it.

As soon as they had said good night to the professor and goes upstairs on the first night , to boys came into the girls room and they all talked it over.

"We've fallen on our feet and no mistake" Said Peter. "This is going to be perfectly splendid. That old chap will let us do anything we like."

"I think he is an old dear" said Susan.

"Oh come off it!" said Edmund. who was tried and pretending not to be tried. Which mead him bad - tempered. "Don't go on talking like that."

"Like what?" said Susan. "And anyway, it's time you were in bed."

"Trying to talk like Mother" said Edmund. " And who are you to say when I'm to go to bed ? Go to bed yourself."

"Hadn't we all better go to bed" said lucy. "There's sure to be a row if we're headed talking here."

"No there won't " said Peter. "I tell you this is the sort of house, where no one's going to mind what we do. Anyways , They won't hear as. It's about ten minutes' walk from here down to that dinning room, any amount of stairs and passages in between."

"What's that noise?"said lucy suddenly. It was a far larger house then she had ever been in before and the thought of all those long passages and rows of doors leading to the empty rooms was beginning to make her feel a little creepy.

"It's only a Bird, 🕊️ silly" Said Edmund.

"It's an owl 🦉" said Peter."This is going to be a wonderful place for Bird's. I shall go to bed now, I say, let's go and explore tomorrow you might find anything in a place like this. Did you see those mountains as we came along? And the woods? There might be stags. there might be eagles. There'll be hawks.

Chapter 1 Episode 2

"Badgers!" Said Lucy.

"Snake's!" Said Edmund.

"Foxes!" said Susan.

But When next morning came , there was a steady rain falling , so thick that when you looked out of the window you could see neither the mountains nor the woods nor even the stream in the garden.

"Of course it would be raining" said Edmund. They had just finished breakfast with the Professor and were upstairs in the room he had set apart from them ---- a long, low room with two windows looking out in one direction and two in another.

"Do stop grumbling, Ed" said Susan. "Ten to one it'll clear up in an hour or so. And in the meantime we're pretty well of. There's a wireless and lot of books."

"Not for me", said Peter. "I'm going to explore in the house."

Everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventure began. It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to end of, and it was full of unexpectes places.

The first few doors they tried only led into spare bedrooms, as everyone expected that they would; but soon they came to a very large room full of pictures and there they found a suit of armour , and after that was a room, all hung with green with a harp in one corner, and then came three steps down and five steps up, and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door the led out into a balcony, and then a whole series of rooms led into each other and were lined with books ----most of them very old books and some bigger than a Bible in a church.

And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe; the sort that has a looking ---glass in the door. There was nothing else in the room at all except dead blue--- bottle and the window---sill.

"Nothing there!" said Peter, and they all dropped out again ---all except Lucy. She stayed behind because she thought it would be worth while trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked. To her surprise it opened quite easily, and two moth---balls dropped out.

Looking into the inside, she saw several coast hanging up ---mostly long fur coats. There was nothing that lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur. She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them leaving the door open, of course, because she knew it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe.

Soon she went further in and found that there was a second row of costs hanging up behind the first one, it was almost quite dark in there and she kept her arms stretched out in front of her so as not to bump her face into the back of the wardrobe. She took a step further in ---- then two or three steps ---- away expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it.

Story will continue 😁
