– 7 –

As for Edmund, he is not a jaguar or an angel. He doesn’t spin endlessly around the world or blow an awful trumpet badly.

He just grows up.

He becomes Mr. Gulley. He meets and marries Helissent Hobson.

Eventually he introduces her to the wolf.

“I wish,” she says, after a while, “that you’d shown me this before I’d married you.”

The wolf grins at her.
