The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - Chapter 9 - In the Witch’s House

Edmund, we learn, snuck gradually out of the beavers' little house, with thoughts of the Turkish Delight in his head. He leaves into a storm which slowly departs and the clearing night shows him where to go to the castle. He finds in the castle all the statues the beavers had spoken of and then climbs stairs to an open door to meet the Queen who immediately prepares to leave.
