《能言马与男孩》第85期:可笑的拉巴达什(4)  

And presently
as was certain to happen sooner or later
King Lune said if was time for young people to be in bed. "And tomorrow
Cor
" he added
"shalt e over all the castle with me and see the estres and mark all its strength and weakness: for it will be thine to guard when I'm gone."
"But Corin will be the King then
Father
" said Cor.
"Nay
lad
" said King Lune
"thou art my heir. The crown es to thee."
“不，孩子，”国王伦恩说道，”你是我的继承人。王冠要传给你的。”
"But I don't want it
" said Cor. "I'd far rather-"
"'Tis no question what thou wantest
Cor
nor I either. 'Tis in the course of law."
"But if we're ins we must be the same age."
"Nay
" said the King with a laugh. "One must e first. Art Corin's elder by full enty minutes. And his better too
let's hope
though that's no great mastery." And he looked at Corin with a inkle in his eyes.
"But
Father
couldn't you make whichever you like to be the next King?"
"No. The king's under the law
for it's the law makes him a king. Hast no more power to start away from thy crown than any sentry from his post."
"Oh dear
" said Cor. "I don't want to at all. And Corin - I am most dreadfully sorry. I never dreamed my turning up was going to chisel you out of your kingdom."
"Hurrah! Hurrah!" said Corin. "I shan't have to be King. I shan't have to be King. I'll always be a prince. It's princes have all the fun."
"And that's truer than thy brother knows
Cor
" said King Lune. "For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat
and when there's hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land."
When the o boys were going upstairs to bed Cor again asked Corin if nothing could be done about it. And Corin said:
"If you say another word about it
I'll - I'll knock you down."
It would be nice to end the story by saying that after that the o brothers never disagreed about anything again
but I am afraid it would not be true. In reality they quarrelled and fought just about as often as any other o boys would
and all their fights ended (if they didn't begin) with Cor getting knocked down. For though
when they had both grown up and bee swordsmen
Cor was the more dangerous man in battle
neither he nor anyone else in the North Countries could ever equal Corin as a boxer. That was how he got his name of Corin Thunder-Fist; and how he performed his great exploit against the Lapsed Bear of Stormness
which was really a Talking Bear but had gone back to Wild Bear habits. Corm climbed up to its lair on the Narnian side of Stormness one winter day when the snow was on the hills and boxed it without a time-keeper for thirty-three rounds. And at the end it couldn't see out of its eyes and became a reformed character.
Aravis also had many quarrels (and
I'm afraid
even fights) with Cor
but they always made it up again: so that years later
when they were grown up
they were so used to quarrelling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently. And after King Lune's death they made a good King and Queen of Archenland and Ram the Great
the most famous of all the kings of Archenland
was their son. Bree and Hwin lived happily to a great age in Narnia and both got married but not to one another. And there weren't many months in which one or both of them didn't e trotting over the pass to visit their friends at Anvard.
