Then Tirian realized that these people could see him； they were staring at him as if they saw a ghost. But he noticed that the king.like one who sat at the old man‘s right never moved （though he turned pale） except that he clenched his hand very tight. Then he said：
“Speak， if you’re not a phantom or a dream. You have a Narnian look about you and we are the seven friends of Narnia.”
Tirian was longing to speak， and he tried to cry out aloud hat he was Tirian of Narnia， in great need of help. But he ound （as I have sometimes found in dreams too） that his oice made no noise at all.
The one who had already spoken to him rose to his feet. Shadow or spirit or whatever you are，“ he said， fixing his yes full upon Tirian. “If you are from Narnia， I charge you the name of Aslan， speak to me. I am Peter the Highing.”
