The Chronicles of Narnia (Excerpt)
Looking into the inside, she saw several coats hanging up—mostly long fur coats.There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur.She immediately stepped into the wardrobe① and got in among the coats and rubbed② her face against them, leaving the door open, of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe. Soon she went further in and found that there was a second row of coats hanging up behind the first one.It was almost quite dark in there and she kept her arms stretched③ 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 always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers.But she could not feel it.
“This must be a simply enormous wardrobe!”, thought Lucy, going still further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her.Then she noticed that there was something crunching④ under her feet.
A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at nighttime with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.
①wardrobe n.衣柜,衣橱
