![]() The faun, who gives his name as Tumnus (James McAvoy), is delighted to learn that Lucy is a 'daughter of Eve,' i.e. And then she sees an even stranger sight: a creature, half man and half goat, carrying an armload of brown-wrapped parcels and holding a flimsy parasol over his head! This creature and Lucy both cry out and hide from one another, and then come out and start a conversation-tentative at first, and then more confident. Strangest of all the objects she sees is a perfectly functioning gas lamppost standing far away from any sort of street. ![]() ![]() Lucy climbs inside and burrows in among the coats-but then finds that she can keep going, deeper and deeper, until she emerges into a snow-covered woodland! With little thought of anything but this wondrous land she has discovered, she walks out into the wood, and gazes in wonder at the trees. The other children find hiding places (Edmund pushing Lucy out of a closet after declaring that he was there first)-but Lucy finds the strangest hiding place of all-an unused room containing one 'sheeted' piece of furniture that turns out to be a magnificent wooden armoire, or wardrobe, with an intricate carving of a tree on one of its doors. Lucy proposes a game of hide-and-seek, and Peter, hoping to humor her, agrees to be 'It' and starts counting up to 100.
