Prince Caspian

"For a time she was so happy that she did not want to speak. But Aslan spoke. 'Lucy,' he said, 'we must not lie here for long. You have work in hand, and much time has been lost today.'
'Yes, wasn't it a shame?' said Lucy. 'I saw you all right. They wouldn't believe me. They're all so—'
From somewhere deep inside Aslan's body there came the faintest suggestion of a growl.
'I'm sorry,' said Lucy, who understood some of his moods. 'I didn't mean to start slanging the others. But it wasn't my fault. But it wasn't my fault anyway, wasn't it?'
The Lion looked right into her eyes.
'Oh Aslan,' said Lucy. 'You don't mean it was? How could I – I couldn't have left the others and come up to you alone, how could I? Don't look at me like that…oh well, I suppose I could Yes, and it wouldn't have been alone, I know, not if I was with you. But what would have been the good?'
Aslan said nothing.
'You mean,' said Lucy rather faintly, 'that it would have turned out all right – somehow? But how? Please, Aslan! Am I not to know?'
'To know what would have happened, child?' said Aslan. 'No. nobody is ever told that.'
'Oh dear,' said Lucy.
'But anyone can find out what will happen,' said Aslan. 'If you go back to the others now, and wake them up; and tell them you have seen me again; and that you must all get up at once and follow me – what will happen? There is only one way of finding out.'"
