chanpter 10

While Edmund makes his way to the home of the White Witch, Mrs. Beaver fusses about, preparing bundles of food for the children to take with them on their journey to the Stone Table. The children and Mr. Beaver worry about the time, but soon enough they take their supplies and begin walking through the snow. Though they are initially struck by the beauty of the scenery, the group is soon exhausted.

After some time, the group stops in a nice, dry cave. Mr. Beaver calls it "an old hiding-place for beavers in bad times" and "a great secret." Lucy thinks to herself that it is not nearly as nice a cave as Mr. Tumnus's. Mrs. Beaver passes around a flask, and, warmed, they all fall fast asleep.
