“THIS wasn’t a garden，”said Susan presently．“It was a castle and this must have been the courtyard．”
“I see what you mean，”said Peter．“Yes．That is the remains of a tower．And there is what used to be a flight of steps going up to the top of the walls．And look at those other steps-the broad，shallow ones-going up to that doorway．It must have been the door into the great hall．”
“Ages ago，by the look of it，”said Edmund．
“Yes，ages ago，”said Peter．“I wish we could find out who the people were that lived in this castle; and how long ago．”

While they were talking they had crossed the courtyard and gone through the other doorway into what had once been the hall．This was now very like the courtyard，for the roof had long since disappeared and it was merely another space of grass and daisies，except that it was shorter and narrower and the walls were higher．Across the far end there was a kind of terrace about three feet higher than the rest．
“I wonder，was it really the hall？”said Susan．“What is that terrace kind of thing？”
“Why，you silly，”said Peter (who had become strangely excited)，“don’t you see？ That was the dais where the High Table was，where the King and the great lords sat．Anyone would think you had forgotten that we ourselves were once Kings and Queens and sat on a dais just like that，in our great hall．”
