“Stop that noise，” said his uncle， taking Caspian by theshoulders and giving him a shake. “Stop it. And never let me catch you talking.or thinking either.about all those silly stories again. There never were those Kings and Queens. How could there be two Kings at the same time？ And there‘s no such person as Aslan. And there are no such things as lions. And there never was a time when animals could talk. Do you hear？”
“Yes， Uncle，” sobbed Caspian.
“Then let’s have no more of it，” said the King. Then he called to one of the gentlemen.in.waiting who were standing at the far end of the terrace and said in a cold voice， “Conduct His Royal Highness to his apartments and send His Royal Highness‘s nurse to me AT ONCE.”
Next day Caspian found what a terrible thing he had done， for Nurse had been sent away without even being allowed to say goodbye to him， and he was told he was to have a Tutor.
