“Didn’t you see the Knight ？”asked Jill.

“I saw a suit of armour,”said Puddleglum. “Why didn’t he speak ？”

“I expect he was shy,”said Jill. “Or perhaps he just wants to look at her and listen to her lovely voice. I’m sure I would if I was him.”

“I was wondering,”remarked Puddleglum，“what you’d really see if you lifted up the visor of that helmet and looked inside.”

“How about a skeleton ？”asked the Marsh-wiggle with ghastly cheerfulness. “Or perhaps,”he added as an afterthought，“nothing at all. I mean，nothing you could see. Someone invisible.”

“Really，Puddleglum,”said Jill with a shudder，“you do have the most horrible ideas. How do you think of them all ？”

“Oh，bother his ideas ！”said Scrubb. “He’s always expecting the worst，and he’s always wrong. Let’s think about those Gentle Giants and get on to Harfang as quickly as we can. I wish I knew how far it is.”
