Edmund stood and waited, his fingers aching with cold and his heart pounding in his chest, and presently the grey Wolf, Fenris Ulf, the Chief of the Witch's Secret Police, came ____ing back and said, "Come in! Come in! Fortunate favourite of the Queen—or else not so fortunate."

He continued running into the forest, ____ his ankles against sharp rocks along the way.

At first he thought this was because the reindeer were tired, but soon he saw that that couldn't be the real reason. The sledge jerked, and ____, and kept on jolting as if it had struck against stones. And however the Dwarf whipped the poor reindeer the sledge went slower and slower.

And he stood there ____ing over the stone lion, and presently he did something very silly and childish. He took a stump of lead pencil out of his pocket and scribbled a moustache on the lion's upper lip and then a pair of spectacles on its eyes.

"I will tell Her Majesty," said the Wolf. "Meanwhile, stand still on the ____, as you value your life." Then it vanished into the house.

He had eaten his share of the dinner, but he hadn't really enjoyed it because he was thinking all the time about Turkish Delight—and there's nothing that ____s the taste of good ordinary food half so much as the memory of bad magic food.

And he had heard the conversation and hadn't enjoyed it much either, because he kept on thinking that the others were taking no notice of him and trying to give him the ____. They weren't, but he imagined it.

Then at last he began to wonder why the lion was standing so still—for it hadn't moved one inch since he first set eyes on it. Edmund now ____ a little nearer, still keeping in the shadow of the arch as much as he could.
